From1911015, Shilong Station became one of the fixed stops of the through train at that time because of adding water to the steam locomotive, and the parking time was the longest among all stations. However, on June 1949, 10 and 14, the through train service of Guangzhou-Kowloon was interrupted, and the China section of Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway was renamed as guangzhou-shenzhen railway. Although the through train service was resumed on April 4th 1979, the through train stopped at Shilong Station.
