Gelsenkirchen-Buer Nord station is located in the city of Gelsenkirchen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The tracks cross this street on a bridge and north of the station its name changes to Polsumer Straße.

The existing track base served for some time as the headshunt of the old Buer Nord station.

[9] The remaining services on the Haltern–Marl–Buer route and continuing towards Gladbeck and Bottrop were maintained and were included in the network of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn as line S9 on 24 May 1998.

[10] In order to facilitate better interchange with other public transport services, the passenger station was relocated to the street of Königswiese.

[14] In addition to the old signal box, an area computer was installed that controls not only the station but also the Marl CWH siding on the Gelsenkirchen-Buer Nord–Marl Lippe railway as well as the operating points of Gladbeck West and Westerholt, which are located on the adjacent Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd–Hamm railway.
