The site formerly had a station for the Northlander passenger train until service was discontinued in 2012. It continued operating as a bus station for Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services until its full closure on March 4, 2016.[1] The original station building was demolished in 2023.[5]
Ontario Northland plans to reopen the site as Temiskaming Shores station as part of the restoration of Northlander passenger rail service scheduled for 2026. A new enclosed passenger shelter is planned for construction between 2024 and 2026.[6] The station will be one of nine enclosed shelters planned along the restored Northlander corridor.[7]
