Location

Moers station is located on the Lower Rhine Railway, which was built in 1904 by the Prussian state railways. It lies on the eastern edge of central Moers in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the road to Duisburg-Homberg. The station is now a stop for Regional-Express service RE 44 and Regionalbahn service RB 31. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.

Behind the station building of 1904 there are the four platform tracks at a 230-metre-long platform and a 239-metre-long platform, both 38 cm high. Opposite the station building on the other side of the station forecourt is the platform of the station of the former Moers District Railway (German: Moerser Kreisbahn), now owned by the Niederrheinische Verkehrsbetriebe (Lower Rhine Transport Operations, NIAG). It is still used for special excursions.
