History

When originally built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1919, the layout of the station was a 1+1⁄2-story wood building with park land on both sides, in keeping with its role as a railway centre and divisional point on the line.^[3]

It became a federally Designated Heritage Railway Station in 1991.^[4]
