Until 2019, Pakistan Railways maintained daily train services at the station, which served as a transit point for the region. These services facilitated the transport of goods to Chaman and Quetta, contributing to local trade and economic activity.
As of 2024, train services have been reduced to once or twice per week. This reduction has impacted the local economy. The station's infrastructure has deteriorated, with damage to equipment noted. Railway station staff are primarily present only when trains are scheduled to operate.
