Until the 1970s, the former Zirndorf-Altenberg station was a passing point. It had two main tracks where the trains to Unternbibert-Rügland and to Nuremberg could pass each other. The station was dominated by its many rail-connected businesses, a sawmill and above all the Ott canning factory, which had its own sidings.
The agency building was demolished as early as the mid-1970s. Tracks still lie here today, but they are now completely overgrown. Nature is reclaiming what is no longer looked after.
