Positioned along Beallsville Road (Route 109), this station accommodates trains on the MARC Train Brunswick Line, which runs between Union Station in Washington D.C. and Martinsburg, West Virginia. There are also additional services extending to Frederick, Maryland. Although the Capitol Limited operated by Amtrak travels through Barnesville, it does not make a stop here.

Rail service commenced on May 25, 1873, coinciding with the inauguration of the Metropolitan Branch Railroad. Originally called Sellman's in honor of landowner William Oliver Sellman, the initial wooden depot also served as the community’s post office. Around 1920, a new facility was constructed just south of Route 109. This building was later torn down during the 1950s and replaced in 1977 by a Washington Gas Light Company metering facility located in Rockville.
