The station was originally built for Canadian National Railway[2] The station was declared a Heritage Railway Station in 1992.[3] Via Rail trains call at the Kamloops North station, not this station. The station building was restored and was previously home to a location of The Keg.[4] As of 2021, it is being remodelled as a local distillery and restaurant.[5]
