It was a station stop for Ontario Northland Railway's Northlander passenger train until service was discontinued in 2012. It was then used as a bus station for Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services until its full closure on March 4, 2016.[1]
The original station structure was demolished in 2023.[3]
The stop will be renamed Temiskaming Shores and a new heated passenger shelter will be constructed on the site between 2024–2026 in preparation for ONR resuming its Northlander passenger train service in the mid-2020s.[4]
