Deutsche Bahn has a service point (open 6:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.) and a travel centre with tourist information.

The line was continued west two years later on 18 August 1849, with the section to Hörschel, now a suburb of Eisenach opened for excursion traffic.

The line was connected to Gerstungen on 25 September 1849, closing the gap with the Hessian Frederick William Northern Railway.

Between 1922 and 1926 this work was followed by the construction of a railway depot in the eastern part of the goods yard along with a roundhouse.

Various works were built, including a facility for train supervision and a large yard for general freight.

In addition, the station has extensive trackage for parking regional and long distance trains.

Freight trains are reconstituted here to run on the Werra line or to various points in the region or in the opposite direction.
