context_page_description: The Wil–Ebnat-Kappel railway is a single-track standard-gauge line that runs through the Toggenburg region of Switzerland. It was built by the Toggenburgerbahn. Its 25 kilometre-long, standard gauge line from Wil via Wattwil to Ebnat-Kappel was opened on 24 June 1870. The TB was nationalised as of 1 July 1902 and became part of the Swiss Federal Railways.
context_section_description: Limited double-track operations became possible on the Wattwil–Lichtensteig section after limited infrastructure adjustments in 1977/1978. With the merger of BT and the Schweizerischen Südostbahn (SOB) on 1 January 2001—while maintaining the latter name—the SOB became a contractual partner of the SBB. The contractually regulated use of the rail systems since the opening of BT was replaced in the Rail Reform 1 program by the so-called open-access network.
  In the course of 2005, SBB and SOB finally agreed on an adjustment of the ownership structure: the SBB ceded its share of Lichtensteig and Wattwil stations, terminated its lease of the Wattwil–Ebnat section and ceded the second track between Lichtensteig and Wattwil. In return, it received the SOB share of St. Gallen station. With the transfers completed in 2006, the SBB now only retains the Wil–Lichtensteig section of the former Toggenburg Railway.
