The station is served by all commuter trains heading to Keila, Paldiski, Turba and Kloogaranna.[1] It consists of two 130 metre platforms. It is located about 2 km south of Baltic Station, it is the second stop on Elron's western route after the terminus at Tallinn's main railway station, Baltic Station.[1]

Although the Tallinn–Paldiski railway already existed in 1870, a station on the site was opened in 1928. The line from Tallinn to back then a nearby town Nõmme (as far as Pääsküla) was electrified already in 1924. At first the station bore the name "Ameerika". There was also a little wooden station building which was demolished in 1998.[2]

In 2012 the old platforms were replaced with new lower ones and a pedestrian tunnel was built.[3]
