When the branch line of Lower Silesian-Mark Railway Company, operating Berlin–Wrocław railway, from Kohlfurth (nowadays Węgliniec) to Görlitz opened on 1 September 1847, it ran past the village of Moys.

The railway junction at Moys was created when the Silesian Mountain Railway from Görlitz to Hirschberg (nowadays Jelenia Góra) was opened in 1865, but the junction didn't have a passenger station to serve the village until 1876.

Both lines are operated by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe, the national polish infrastructure manager, and served by Koleje Dolnośląskie, with eleven daily trains in each direction on the former line, and seven daily trains in each direction on the other.

Additionally, Zgorzelec station was served by three daily Regional-Express trains running between Wrocław Główny and Dresden Hauptbahnhof from March 2009 until December 2018 (except for a few months in 2015).

Since mid-December 2018 these trains run between Dresden, Zgorzelec and Węgliniec only; since 2020 the regular trains from Dresden to Görlitz are extended to Zgorzelec a few times per day.
