History

Due to Uttaradit Station being overcrowded, a new station had to be built. Therefore, in 1958, Sila At Station was built about two kilometres north of the original station, in the applied Thai architecture style. Originally, the station's name was "New Uttaradit", but was later changed and became the Northern Line's major railway container yard.

A Hanomag Steam Locomotive, No. 274, is on display on station premises.
