Saskatoon's first Canadian Pacific station was probably built in the 1880s. It was used until 1906 when the Canadian Northern Railway took over the lease. The second CPR station was used as a station until 1960 and later by the CPR as offices until 1993. It is a designated heritage structure and is now home to a number of commercial services.

The first Canadian Northern (later Canadian National) was acquired in 1906 when the CNoR took over the CPR lease. The railway replaced the station in 1910. It was used by CN until 1939 when it was replaced with a 'modern' structure. By 1964 the new station had lost its lustre and its home. when the city decided the location was more suitable for commercial use. The station was relocated and replaced with the latest and greatest in 'ultra modern' station architecture. The latest station still survives and remains in use by VIA Rail.

A replica of the 1910 station has been built in the old location which is now a shopping mall.
