It was on the Bog Walk to Port Antonio branch line, {{convert|31|mi|km}} from the Kingston terminus,[4] and served the surrounding agricultural community, providing a means for bananas to reach and be exported from Port Antonio.[1] It was vandalised sometime after closure.[3] ArchitectureThe station was a two-story wooden building with sash windows, the upper floor being smaller than the lower and centrally placed.[5] The pitched roof over the ground floor was extended to form a canopy over the platform on all four sides of the building.[5] The upper story had a gable end roof.[5] Track layoutIn addition to the platform serving the through line there was a second platform on the opposite side of the station building on a passing loop and, most likely, freight sidings as well.[5] FaresIn 1910 the third class fare from Troja to Kingston was 2/6 (two shillings and sixpence); first class was about double.[6] See also
