It is located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the northwest/west of Helsinki Central railway station, in the core of the Pitäjänmäki industrial area.

Coinciding with parts of the rantarata being expanded to double track, Strömberg received another wooden side platform in 1958.

[3] The Strömberg halt was closed on 30 May 1976 and was replaced by the contemporary station of Valimo, some 300 metres (0.19 mi) to the east from the old platforms towards Helsinki.

In the early 1990s, an eventually rejected plan proposed that the Valimo and Pitäjänmäki stations should be merged and the platforms moved back to the site of the former Strömberg factories.

[6][1] The Valimo bus line terminus is located right to the south of the station, in the north end of the Valimotie street.
