Construction of the Jurong station and the Jurong Line started in 1963 and was opened in 1965 amid much fanfare despite the rail line was not for passenger services, but however when politic and diplomatic relations strained between Singapore and Malaysia, and much further with more roads to Jurong Port and Jurong Island, freight services to Jurong were terminated in early 1993 with the station building demolished immediately after.
