The railway station of Naousa was put into operation in 1894 and belonged to the Thessaloniki-Bitola railway line. Like the rest of the line’s stations, the two-storey building has notable Central European influences. The ground floor served the needs of the passengers. The stationmaster and his family lived on the first floor. A lattice delineated the ladies’ waiting area, while there was a separate room for gendarmes. A stove attached to the chimney heated the station. The adjacent building was a warehouse. The railway company (Société du Chemin de fer ottoman Salonique-Monastir) had little incentive to boost passenger services. The Ottoman government guaranteed a minimum income, so the company was not interested in increasing its revenues. On the contrary, fewer passengers resulted in reduced costs and increased profits.
