The PGE line was established in 1912, and rail service to the Whistler area has been provided since the early days of operation until BC Rail ended all passenger service in 2002. The current station building was built for Whistler Rail Tours (former operators of the Whistler Sea to Sky Climb) in 2007.[1][2]

During the 2010 Winter Olympics, a special Rocky Mountaineer train sponsored by the government of the neighbouring province of Alberta served as public transit between Vancouver and Whistler.[3]
