The station was opened on 1 May 1911 and originally consisted of a station building and a loading spur. The station remained staffed until 1939 and was later closed.

History Plans for a station in the area started for a spur to be built near the western mouth of the Barbu Tunnel, at Myrene, to store rolling stock. The plans were then expanded to include a station, which opened on 1 May 1911. A station building,Bjerke & Tovås (1989): 130 designed by Harald Kaas and which is identical to the one at Rossedalen Station, was built. Additional spurs and a longer platform were built in 1917 and 1918. However, there has never been a passing loop at the station. It became unstaffed in 1939 and later closed.
