The station is located on the north side of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) tracks in Mission on North Railway Avenue. The station opened in 1995, when the West Coast Express began operating. 254 park and ride spaces are available at the station.

==History== The first Mission City CPR station was built in 1882, at a site near St. Mary's Mission, further to the east. Subsequent railway stations were located at '''Mission City Junction''' on the western end of Railway Avenue, at the foot of Grand Street,<ref name=historic>{{cite web |url=http://www.heritage-places.com/profiles/CPRStation.html |title=Canadian Pacific Railway Station |work=Profiles of Historic Sites |publisher=Mission District Historical Society |quote=The CPR Train Station once stood in the "Y" formed by CPR lines |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160319151958/http://www.heritage-places.com/profiles/CPRStation.html |archive-date=March 19, 2016 |access-date=December 14, 2022}}</ref> slightly to the west of the current commuter rail station. First station at the junction was in 1885 and a second railway station was built in 1892 in the "Y" of the tracks.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.missionmuseum.com/timeline.php |title=Timeline of Significant Event in Mission's History |work=Local History |publisher=Mission Museum |access-date=March 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130402032242/http://www.missionmuseum.com/timeline.php |archive-date=April 2, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The most recent 1909 CPR station building, which had been recognized as a municipal historic site in 1982, was destroyed by fire in 1999.<ref name=historic />
