Dietikon station

Just west of Dietikon station, the east end of Limmattal classification yard joins the main line. Two suburban (S-Bahn) lines serve Dietikon: the S3 from Wetzikon, which terminates in Dietikon, and the S12 from the Winterthur area, which continues to Brugg. (Both run via Zurich main station.)

The station is traversed by six tracks, five of which serve platforms.

Here's how Dietikon looks to the Zurich dispatcher:
