It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station,[1] and is served by line S2 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn.

The originally single-track line had a passing loop in the station area and sidings for the parking of rolling stock.

In preparation for the opening of the S-Bahn to Niedernhausen the line was electrified and the station area of Eppstein was redeveloped.

This building was abandoned in the 1990s; after it had been left largely empty for 10 years, it was taken over by an Eppstein municipal corporation and renovated in 2005.

The station building, freight shed and the impressive retaining wall of the embankment are or were monuments under the Hessian Heritage Act.
