The Versam-Safien train station is at km 32.73 of the railway line. Since the route runs along the Vorderrhein in the very narrow Rhine gorge, the eponymous communities are up to three kilometers away from the railway station and up to 300 meters in altitude. Versam through station has two through tracks and two dead ends. The station has a main platform and two central platforms, which can be reached by crossing.
The station was built for the opening of the Reichenau and Ilanz railway line in 1903. In the past, the importance of the station was higher than it is today. A road from Versam to Reichenau and Ilanz was completed in 1881, but due to the low level of motorization up until the 1950s, it must be assumed that the majority of residents used the railway and thus the station well into the 20th century. From there they switched to the mail coach or, in winter, to horse-drawn sleighs on the road to the Safiental, which was uncleared until 1950.
The RegioExpress trains stop at the station every hour. Irregular freight trains and the Glacier Express run daily without stopping. The Postbus drives to the train station every hour in order to save passengers the climb to the actual village and to open up the entire Safiental.
The station building of the no longer occupied station is now used for other purposes. There is a timber loading point next to the station, which can be approached via the sidings.
