Established as a flag stop in 1928, it saw limited traffic, with only 15 daily boarding and disembarking passengers in 2008.

Langnes was established as a flag stop in 1928, when the Norwegian State Railways introduced flag stops at a large number of intersections along the Eastern Østfold Line in order to compete better with bus and truck services.

The Rail Administration evaluated that the station had limited patronage and little possibilities of future growth as there were no plans for development within the catchment area.

[3] Langli Station was situated on the Eastern Østfold Line, 7.68 meters (25.2 ft) from Ski Station and 32.09 kilometers (19.94 mi) from Oslo S.[1] The station had a simple wooden side platform which was 20 metres (66 ft) long with a platform height of 67 centimetres (26 in) and a waiting shed.

Access was available via a gravel road, with limited sign posting which made it difficult to find.
