    Hiking

    The station was originally located outside the town. Today, it is located on its southern edge. It gained regional importance due to its location on the steep "Schiefe Ebene" line. Not only was it usually the terminus for locomotives used in shunting services, but express trains also stopped in Marktschorgast.
    The complex, consisting of the station building, goods shed, and water house, is now a listed building.

    Hiking

    In 2021, Marktschorgast will be served approximately hourly by DB Regio Nordostbayern regional express trains on the Hof–Lichtenfels route. Class 641 railcars alternate with Class 612 tilting multiple units, the latter running every two hours to Bamberg.

    For safety reasons, a bridge was built over the tracks in 2020 to replace the existing level crossing. This meant that the previously existing accessibility was lost, and since then, rail passengers have had to climb 84 steps to and from platform 2. In response to the municipality's request for an elevator, a railway representative threatened to close the station instead.
