On the western side trains were the facilities of the Baden Railway, serving trains running either on the Neckar line towards Neckarelz and or via a western curve in the northern track field—this layout continues today—on to the Elzenz Valley Railway and running over a bridge over the Neckar and continuing down the valley before turning to the west.

[6] From 1907 the station was the terminus of the private branch line to Neuenstadt am Kocher, which was extended to Ohrberg in 1913.

The owner and operator, the Württemberg Railway Company (Württembergischen Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, WEG) initially had its own platform and tracks, opposite the station building, which it connected to by a pedestrian bridge.

In January 2013 it was announced that the town of Bad Friedrichshall would buy the station from Deutsche Bahn.

In fact, the connection of the trains to Sinsheim was not possible until mid-2015 because of delays to the renovation of a bridge in Bad Wimpfen.

[1] The first station building was completed in 1867 and was a typical design of Carl Julius Abel, the engineer for the Heilbronn–Jagstfeld line.

The southern part was much narrower with a two-storey central block, which included the waiting rooms.

The trains of the Lower Kocher Valley Railway used the Deutsche Bundesbahn station after its opening.
