Built in between 1880 and 1885, the original station is among the oldest of the railway stations in Malaysia. From here, there is a track branching out going to Teluk Intan but the track was heavily destroyed in World War 2. In March 2007, as part of the electrified double tracking project between Rawang and Ipoh, it was rebuilt, with the old station building being retained.
