The town has a station on the Niamey - Dosso railway line. Built between 2014 and 2016 the objective of this line was to connect Niger to the rail network in Benin and thus to the coast. But the connection to Benin never materialized. The rail now ends in Dosso and no train has ever stopped at the Birni N'Gaouré station.
