The rails were advanced to Milford in 1880 by the Utah Southern Railroad Extension. By the end of the century, the rails and station were part of the Oregon Short Line Railroad, a larger Union Pacific Railroad subsidiary. In 1903, the rails and station became part of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad.
