The Baltic Railway Company built the first station at the end of the 1860s as part of the St. Petersburg to Tallinn to Paldiski line. The first main building was completed in 1870, the date the infobox and lead give for opening. It was a two-story limestone structure with tower-like extrusions. The article names no architect.
The Red Army set it on fire in 1941, during the Second World War. It was partially renovated in 1945 and completely reconstructed from 1960 to 1966. The station building was completely renewed in 2005, when the Hotel Shnelli and the Estonian Railways headquarters were completed nearby. The article does not state current materials or style.
The station has 9 platforms and 12 tracks at grade, and the 3 kV DC overhead line dates from 1924. Elron operates it, and AS GoProperty owns it. It is accessible, with bicycle parking beside it and in a tunnel beneath.
