History

The station was built by the Hungarian State Railways in 1910, which operated it until 1919 when Transylvania became part of Romania. After a decline in usage across the whole line and subsequent curtailing of the route in the 1960s and 1990s, the station closed in 2001.

Future

Plans exist to reopen part of the line after it was protected in 2008. The local group Asociația Prietenii Mocăniței has taken on the task of restoring the route which has already restored a section of the line.[2]

gollark: Anyway, the battery life will be *great* if I can cut down basically every pointless background service and have a GNU/Linux-running phone which basically just runs a browser and basic phone-network functionality.
gollark: Well, that's interesting, thanks.
gollark: Hmm, interesting.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I could dock it to my monitor and stuff.
