History edit
Like the majority of the stations on the line, the station building, which was built in 1862 with windows on seven vertical axes, was built to a standard design. The storage sheds were built around 1900. However, the signal box lodge situated to the west of the station tracks, which was probably built around 1950, is built in the same style. The entire complex has heritage protection.[4]
The station served primarily mineral traffic. Since the beginning of the 20th century, there has been an almost continuously-operated station restaurant.
