The Herdorf train station, a brick building on the Siegtalbahn line (Betzdorf–Haiger), lost its passenger service in 1970. Since the 19th century, it had been an important transshipment point for regional ore extraction. Numerous mines and the local Friedrichshütte steelworks were served from there, including by one of the first mine railways (built in 1862). The history of the station and the region is closely intertwined with mining. Here are the most important milestones: + 1861/1862: Construction of the Sottersbach mine railway as a horse-drawn railway (track gauge 78.5 cm) to the surrounding mines, followed in 1862 by another horse-drawn railway to the San Fernando mine. + 1901: Commissioning of two mechanical signal boxes in the station area. + 1907: Opening of the Herdorf–Unterwilden railway line, which was mainly used for transporting ore (from mines including Wolf, Bollnbach, and San Fernando) to the Friedrichshütte steelworks. + 1970: Cessation of regular passenger service on the Freien Grunder Eisenbahn line. Today, the stop serves as a station on the RB96 regional line of the Hessische Landesbahn (HLB).

Unrecognizable. The outdoor facilities have been demolished. Today apparently in West Asian hands and mainly used for large wedding celebrations.
