The station is situated at kilometric point (KP) 27.949 on the Reims-Laon railway. It is served by TER Grand Est trains between Reims and Laon (line C10) operated by the SNCF.[1]

When the Compagnie des chemins de fer des Ardennes opened the 52 km Reims-Laon railway in 1857,[3] the railway halt in Amifontaine had yet to be established.[4] The station was still absent from the line in 1861.[5] However, by 1868, the French writer Adolphe Joanne indicated the station was in operation in his book Itinéraire général de la France : Vosges et Ardennes.[6] At the time the station served a population of 437 in Amifontaine only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
