It is the first station on the Wriezen – Godków railway line on the right of the Oder, just after the Oder bridge . The bridge still exists, the tracks on the German side have been dismantled. The recommissioning of the railway line on the Polish side was discussed for a long time. In August 2012 the bridge was temporarily opened to pedestrian traffic, then closed again for safety reasons. From June 2013, a trolley train should run across the bridge in summer.
