History
editIt was upgraded from railway halt to railway station on May 10, 1953. Originally, the building of the station was located in the current location of Lam Ta Khong Dam. Later on, when the dam was built, therefore moved the station to the current location. The station is opposite to Lam Ta Khong Dam and Highway 2 (Mittraphap Road), and located by the reservoir. Make it have a beautiful view like being by the sea.[2][3][4] The station is currently being rebuilt as part of the double tracking project between Map Kabao and Thanon Chira Junction.[1]
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on August 24, 2024, a tunnel collapse occurred during construction of the high-speed railway near the station. Three workers — two Chinese and a Myanmar national — were trapped inside. After five days, they were retrieved and found dead, having previously been thought to be alive.
