Since 1841, Eschweiler Hauptbahnhof has been located at line-km 56.9 in the Röthgen district of Eschweiler and has four tracks, three of which are platform tracks with the house platform (next to the entrance building) as a side platform and an island platform.
The station is served by the NRW-Express and the Rhein-Sieg-Express.
The Euregiobahn service stops instead at the Eschweiler Talbahnhof (valley station) on the Mönchengladbach–Stolberg railway.
The entrance building was built in 1860 and is now owned by the city of Eschweiler.
A kiosk, a travel agency and a dental practice are located in the entrance building.
In the past, the station was served by a line of the Aachen Tramway and handled freight.
The tram line was discontinued in 1954 and general freight operations ended in 1984.
The goods shed was replaced by a parking lot in 2008.
The station is currently being renovated because it is not barrier-free due to its 38 centimetre-high platforms and lack of lifts.
