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 was planned that it would be remodelled as a local distillery and restaurant,^[5] however these plans fell through due to a lack of investment.^[6] It now hosts Twisted Steak steakhouse.^[7][8]

The Kamloops Heritage Railway offers special excursion steam trains at various times through the year, trains depart from the station with tickets sold from their ticket office at 5-510 Lorne Street near the station.^[9]
