The stop will be renamed Kirkland Lake and a new heated passenger shelter will be constructed on the site between 2024–2026 in preparation for ONR resuming its Northlander passenger train service in the mid-2020s.

Former railway station

Swastika was a station stop for Ontario Northland's Northlander passenger trains. The station was a fairly large building with former entrances on street and platform level The indoor waiting room was once larger and featured a staffed ticket desk and washrooms, but by the end of the station's life it was un-staffed and only a small waiting room off the platform was used for passengers.

Following the cancellation of the Northlander service in 2012, Ontario Northland began demolition of the train station building on March 10, 2021; with demolition completed on May 15. As of June 2021, there is a historic locations plaque placed by Ontario Northland to commemorate this one-of-a-kind train station that once stood on the grass hill that is now in its location.
