It was located halfway up the Niagara Escarpment west of downtown Dundas,[2] near where Hamilton Regional Road 8 (formerly Ontario Highway 8) crosses under the railway tracks.

The Great Western Railway (GWR) put their line through Dundas in 1853, but it wasn't until 1864 that the first station was built.

[3] They amalgamated with the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) in 1882,[4] who constructed a new station building in 1904 and double tracked the line.

A fire seriously damaged the station in 1984 and it was decided to move the historic structure to a more suitable site.

A restricted fire access route from Highway 8 is the only reminder of a railway station in the area.
