The station itself is occupied by the offices of the Historic Cobalt Corporation and the Bunker Military Museum; passengers had to wait outside to flag down the train and purchase tickets once aboard.

Cobalt was not included as a stop for the resumed Northlander service, expected to begin in the mid-2020s.

[1] The station was designed by the prominent Canadian architect John M. Lyle and constructed in 1910 for the Timiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway.

The roof contains pedimented dormers, with a central block Flemish gable that breaks the roofline and emphasizes the main entrance.
