 The station itself cost $28,500 (equal to $ today)  and the railroad was said to have spent $75,000 (equal to $ today) to build the accompanying structures.The new station opened on May 28, 1911, six months before the first trains rolled on the Cut-Off.The elevated walkways rendered the old bridge completely redundant (its duties for vehicular traffic had already been assumed by a parallel bridge of stone built in 1907), and it was eventually demolished.
