Ōme is a through station on the Ōme Line , which runs from Tachikawa through the upper Tama Valley to Oku-Tama . Due to the vastly different population density east and west of the train station, Ōme is usually divided into two operations. In the direction of Tachikawa, local trains run five times an hour with ten cars during the day, eight times an hour during the morning rush hour. Often they go beyond Tachikawa as an express train on the Chūō rapid transit line to Shinjuku and Tokyo . In the direction of Oku-Tama, the timetable is 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the time of day. Trains with four cars are used for this. During the week, the Ōme express train is offered, which runs once in the morning with only four stops from Ōme to Tokyo and twice back in the evening. On weekends and holidays there are three pairs of express trains called Holiday Rapid Okutama , which connect Tokyo with Oku-Tama. On the station forecourt there are two bus stops that are served by a dozen lines of the Toei Bus and Nishi Tōkyō Bus companies.

The Ōme Tetsudō railway company opened the first section of the later Ōme line on November 19, 1894 , although this line from Tachikawa via Haijima to this point initially had a gauge of 762 mm. To avoid the costly transhipment of goods in Tachikawa, the whole Ōme Line was the usual on February 18, 1908 Cape gauge (1,067 mm) umgespurt . For almost half a century, Ōme remained the western terminus. During the Pacific War , the Japanese state strove to bring under its control various private railways of strategic importance that had emerged after the first wave of nationalization in 1906/07 . According to an ordinance issued in 1941, the state railroad was responsible for the Ōme line from April 1, 1944. The Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on May 16, 1962 for reasons of rationalization. In 1982 it extended the platforms, and since then trains with ten cars have been able to run to Ōme. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 .
