History
The station was built by the Hungarian State Railways in 1910 who 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 60s and 90s 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: Quite a few, I checked.
gollark: A 6-character-in-total domain is cool and ijk.re is one of the few which is available, has a cool thing™ like a consecutive letter sequence, and is affordable. Although it may be unavailable to me due to [BREXIT EXPUNGED].
gollark: Well, it's short and memorable.
gollark: We plan to migrate around January to ijk.re or something trendy like that.
gollark: yes.
