Easy to get wrong
Zürich Hauptbahnhof opened in 1847 as the terminus of Switzerland's first railway and originally ran on 1,600mm track gauge before conversion to standard gauge in 1853 - a historical curiosity with no bearing on today's IR70 timetable, but one that shows the station predates the national network it now anchors.
