[1] The station is located in the network of the Rhein-Nahe-Nahverkehrsverbund (Rhine-Nahe local transport association, RNN) and belongs to fare zone 401.

In 1871, the Alsenz Valley Railway (Alsenztalbahn) was opened from Hochspeyer with its northern terminus in the town then called just Münster.

Although initial efforts to create a railway along the Nahe go back to 1839, disputes between Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg over the route, however, delayed its realisation.

For tactical reasons, Prussia initially expressed interest in these plans, which led to Oldenburg giving way and accepting the route along the Nahe within its territory.

[8][9] After the Bingerbrück–Kreuznach section was ready for use in 1858, it was opened between Kreuznach and Oberstein on 15 December 1859, which gave Münster access to the railway network.

[11] The planned route in the Alsenz valley, which was to run immediately south of Münster, was finally supported by Bavaria.

[12] In order to cater to the interests of the city of Kaiserslautern, a connecting curve to Hochspeyer was built south of Fischbach to enable rail operations.

During the Second World War, there were several air raids on Bad Münster in 1944 due to its importance as a strategic railway hub.

Subsequently, the four-track Bad Kreuznach–Bad Münster section was partially dismantled as there was no longer any requirement for more than two tracks.

[18] At the same time, however, the viability of the Glan Valley Railway, which was built primarily for military reasons, was questioned.

With the opening of the Nahe Valley Railway in 1860, a total of four train pairs operated between Saarbrücken and Bingerbrück.

Electrification of the rest of the route was not considered to be financially justified because of the difficult topography of the line, particularly the need to enlarge tunnels.

Bad Münster am Stein station is served by the following regional rail services:[26][27][28][29] Due to its topography, the Nahe Valley Railway did not have any importance for long-distance freight traffic.
