The Da Lat railway station was built in 1932 and put into use in 1936. There were two trains Da Lat- Nha Trang and Da Lat - Sai Gon a day.
But this line was destroyed in the war and abandoned in the late 1960s. Seven kilometers of the track between Da Lat and Trai Mat has been reconstructed and operated for tourism purpose since 1997. The Ministry of Culture and Information certified the Da Lat railway station as a national historical and cultural site in 2001. And Da Lat railway station was also considered the nicest ancient railway station in all Indochina.
