It is the terminus of the Ländches Railway running from Niedernhausen to Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and of line S2 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn from Frankfurt.

As a railway junction station Niedernhausen received a roundhouse (now converted into six loft apartments) with a turntable, a water tower, a coal bunker and sidings for the operation of steam locomotives.

In 1913, with the construction of the second track, the level crossing to the neighbouring community of Königshofen was replaced by a modern railway overbridge.
