The station was originally built for Canadian National Railway[2] The station was declared a Heritage Railway Station in 1992.[3] 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]
At some point before 2024, the station was closed down, with Rocky Mountaineer service now serving the Kamloops Train Siding at 525 CN Ave.[10][11][better source needed]
