According to a memorandum published in Kusel in 1861, the line would run from the Palatine Ludwig Railway through Mohrbach, Glan and Kuselbach to Kusel.

The first freight train ran on 28 August 1868.
The Landstuhl–Kusel railway was officially opened on 20 September 1868.
On that day, a special train ran from Ludwigshafen to Kusel, carrying officials of the Palatine Railway and among others the Bavarian Minister of State for Commerce and Public Works, Gustav von Schlör.
Two days later the line was released for regular operations.
Thus, Landstuhl station became the seventh railway junction within the Palatinate after Schifferstadt (1847), Ludwigshafen (1853), Neustadt an der Haardt (1855), Homburg (1857), Winden (1864) and Schwarzenacker station (1866).
