The station lies on the Upper Rhine Railway, which connects Basel and Singen along the northern and, mostly, German bank of the Rhine. It is the junction point for the Turgi–Koblenz–Waldshut line, which crosses the Rhine from Switzerland on the Waldshut to Koblenz railway bridge just to the south of the station.[1]

The Upper Rhine Railway is not electrified and most services are operated by diesel locomotives or railcars. The line from Switzerland is electrified using the Swiss standard of 15 kV and 16.7 Hz from an overhead line. Only one terminal platform in the station is electrified, and this is used by all trains from Switzerland.
