In addition to the now disused upper station (Zeulenroda oberen Bahnhof), the town also includes the halt (Haltepunkt) of Triebes.

The town railway (Stadtbahn) to central Zeulenroda was opened on 1 September 1914.

A year later, on 31 October 1997, freight traffic also ended on the town railway, so that Zeulenroda unt Bf again operated as a through station.

Although the station is located in Thuringia, the lines were built by the Royal Saxon State Railways (Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen), so that the brick buildings were built in the typical style of Saxony.

The station was equipped with three platforms, a two-storey entrance building with a one-storey annex, a goods shed and head and side loading ramps.
