The station began service on December 11, 2006 as the fourth station on the line. Los Lunas Public Transportation has shuttles serving the station. Each of the Rail Runner stations contains an icon to express each community's identity. The icon representing this station is the old Los Lunas train station.[1]

The station has free parking, with 190 spaces, with congestion at the parking lot requiring that an extension be built less than a year after the station originally opened.[2] This extension was opened on April 30, 2007.[2] The mayor of the town admitted that more parking was needed although the extension had recently been built;[3] the next phase of expansion involves building 120 new spaces.[2]
