The train services at Ulsda started on 1 January 1887 and were inititally provided by the Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (Company for Exploitation of State Railways).[1]

In 1938, train services were provided by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Netherlands Railways), when the Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen merged with the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (Hollandic Iron Railroad Company), until the railway stop was closed on 15 May 1938.[1]
The building remained until 1950.[1]
