was built of local granite and located at the western end of the wye leading to St. Andrews from the Montreal-Saint John main line. The 20-room hotel occupies the two thirds of the second floor of the station. On the ground floor, the western end of the building's ground floor is occupied by a lunch counter/canteen with a large M shaped circular counter with swivel stools. This was where breakfast's, soup, sandwich, etc. would be served for hotel guests waiting for connecting trains and train passengers who were waiting for the Steam engines to be re-fuelled and passengers to clear Customs. It was not unusual to feed 2000 people a day at this lunch counter. The central portion of the ground floor has a more formal dining room and the kitchen area which served both eating establishments. The eastern end of the building's ground floor hosts the passenger waiting rooms and ticketing office and baggage storage rooms. The station also had a jail cell that was operated by the [Canadian Pacific Railway Police Service] and not to be used by local McAdam police. During World War II, many troop trains departed from the station towards Halifax for deployment overseas. This is commemorated on a local mural in town. In 1955, the C.P rail initiated an express service from Saint John to Montreal called The Atlantic Limited which was continued by Via Rail as the Atlantic with the eastern terminus shifted from Saint John to Halifax. Local connecting trains at McAdam to St. Andrews, St. Stephen, Fredericton and Woodstock were all cancelled in the early 1960s leaving McAdam with a single passenger train in each direction (The Atlantic Limited).

Customers would frequent the lunch counter which seats 65 people on stools at a W-shaped Arborite counter and would order coffee and "railroad pie". One author notes that a particular type of "railway pie" was similar to a Boston cream pie. The decline of rail traffic in the 1950s led to the eventual closure of the lunch counter. The tradition of the railway pies was revived in 2010 as a fund-raising effort for the station. This continued until 2019 when the time commitment became too much for the older volunteers of the event. The station has
