There is no ticket office available at the small shelter (complete with bench seats) which serves as the current station.

The station was opened in 1903 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as part of a project to elevate the right-of-way as it passed through Latrobe.

[2] Until 2005, Latrobe was served by a second daily train, the Three Rivers (a replacement service for the legendary Broadway Limited), an extended version of the Pennsylvanian that terminated in Chicago.

Upon its cancellation, the sole Pennsylvanian marked the first time in Latrobe's railway history that the town was served by just a single, daily passenger train.

In April 2023, Amtrak announced plans to upgrade the station to make it accessible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
