The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 824.

Federal highway 270 runs approximately parallel to the railway line and separates the station from the rest of the built-up area.

Nevertheless, the village continued to lack a railway connection; the nearest station was located in Kaiserslautern, about ten kilometres away.

[7] In the following year, a committee, to which representatives from Kaiserslautern, Waldfischbach and Schopp belonged, noted several advantages of such a route.

The proposed connection between Kaiserslautern and Pirmasens was not considered by the Ministry of Trade to be useful because of the difficult topography and the thin settlement.

[10] In 1872, the Palatine Railway received a request from the city of Kaiserslautern, which related to the planned connection to Pirmasens.

For instance, a gradient had to be overcome south of Schopp and the site of a powder mill located there avoided for safety reasons.

[16] After several closures in the 1970s, Schopp, along with Steinalben and Waldfischbach, was one of three remaining operating stations between Pirmasens Nord and Kaiserslautern Hbf.

[18] The entrance building is built with a hip roof in the Heimatstil (literally "home-style", related to the Swiss chalet style), with a waiting room with an open design.

From the architectural point of view, it has similarities with its counterparts along the closed Bach Railway (Bachbahn) between Lampertsmühle-Otterbach and Reichenbach, which was also built in the 1910s.

[25] After the Second World War, a shunting locomotive from Pirmasens freight yard operated local goods trains (Nahgüterzug).

[26] In the 1980s, two local goods trains from Einsiedlerhof marshalling yard on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway served the station as well as Pirmasens and its surroundings.
