Location

The original station building was built in 1901.^[3] It was remodeled in 1937 and moved to the west side of the tracks.^[3] The structure burned down in 1979 and was replaced with a "temporary" station in a trailer. A new waiting shelter was built in 1995, designed to emulate the original though with the addition of a clock tower.^[4][5]
