    Those who come from the ferry can use the island train or walk here from the port. But I recommend using the island train.

      On June 22, 1901, the steamship shipping company Esens-Langeoog put a 3.5-kilometer-long, meter-gauge horse-drawn tram into operation, which led from the pier near today's harbor through the island village to the hospice. The switch to engine operation planned in 1925 initially failed due to the requirements of the community and could only be carried out when heavy storm surges destroyed the pier on October 18 and 27, 1936. The new railway line went into operation on July 2, 1937. Since then, the railway has ended in the new station on the outskirts, which was built according to plans by the Aurich architect Ludwig Deichgräber, as the curve radii in the village were too small for motorized trains.

      The operating complex of the Inselbahn with locomotive sheds and the workshop is called a train shed on Langeoog. It was significantly expanded and modernized in the late 1980s.

      In the winter months from 1993 to 1996, the local train station built in 1937 was replaced by a new building at the same location. The track systems were revised, the platform renewed and widened and the road layout in the area changed. Offices and staff apartments were integrated into the building.

        When visiting Langeoog, there is no way around the train station. The island railway is the connection between the port and the town.
