For nearly fifty years, the station served the community by helping to transport freight and passengers in the area.

The station was originally located at 40°41′45.2″N 80°00′33.5″W / 40.695889°N 80.009306°W / 40.695889; -80.009306, near the intersection of Marshall Way and West Railroad Avenue.

[1] During the 1920s, a freight train derailed and crashed into the station, which knocked it off its foundation.

A few years later, residents gathered around the station and tracks to witness President Warren G. Harding's funeral train passing by on its way to Washington, D.C.

Through many donations it was relocated and restored at its current site in the borough in August 1999,[1] and in 2000, the Mars Historical Society purchased the station; it is now a museum.
