[3] The Finnish Heritage Agency has proclaimed the Myllymäki station as a built cultural environment of national significance.

These plans ended up changing significantly with time, as the Jyväskylä line was to be built beginning from Haapamäki, and that of Oulu from Seinäjoki.

This stemmed in part from its location approximately halfway between Tampere and Vaasa, making it a frequent meeting point for trains traversing the line.

It was also significant as a cargo station; it came to handle one of the largest volumes of loaded timber in the country.
