It was equipped with a residencies for use by the work chief, accountant and material scribe, as well as barracks for smiths and workers, the latter of which had capacity for 100 people at a given time.

[3] In November 1857, the railway administration proposed establishing a kestikievari - a type of lodging tavern - in Åggelby, but the plan was met by resistance from the locals; their stance also got the backing of the justice department of the hundare of Helsinki.

The kestikievari, headed by Johan Weurlander, was established in the estate of Månsas, and was reserved for use only by those whose travels directly concerned the railway project.

[3] The railway was opened for traffic in 1862, but it took fifteen more years for Åggelby to receive a station of any kind as a freight platform was constructed in 1873.

In December 1880, a group of people with summertime residencies in village, presumed to be public officials and military officers from Helsinki, proposed to the Railway Administration the establishment of a pysäkki (a station of lower significance, translating to "stop").

The owners of the estates that surrounded the area of the proposed station, J. H. Eklund of Månsas and M. W. Nyström of Petas and Nybondas, in April gave up their respective shares of the required land area to the Railway Administration, free of compensation,[4] and the station was founded later that year.

This enabled growth in the village: villas were built in its lands, and it was received the status of a taajaväkinen yhdyskunta – an autonomous part of the rural municipality of Helsinki.
