The Železná Ruda-Alžbětín/Eisenstein border railway station was built in 1876-77 between Austria-Hungary and Bavaria, and was intended to express the good cooperation between the two neighboring countries at that time. It is completely unique - the station building is divided exactly in its middle by the state border. It was operated by the Czech Railways from 1918, but was occupied by Germany in 1938.

The train station building is located on the border of the Czech Republic and Germany. Before 1989, it was only possible to reach Železná Ruda – a town. Only freight trains and people with permits were allowed to reach Alžbětín na pilu. The renovated building began to serve again after the revolution. Since 2012, it has been a European information center.
