Kohila's old station house
Kohila station opened in 1900 on the narrow-gauge line from Tallinn to Viljandi. Its station house was finished in 1901 to a standard design, like those at Võhma, Käru, Surju and Lelle. It got an extension in the next decade. From 1906 to 1970 a narrow-gauge branch ran from here to the Kohila paper mill, and in the late 1960s the main line was rebuilt to broad gauge. The old station house survived all of this until spring 2012, when it was demolished. A new travel centre for train and bus passengers opened on 2 November 2012. At the end of the platform the old water tower still stands, and the local Women's Home Defence unit has been raising money to restore it.

Eesti keeles
Kohila jaam avati 1900. aastal Tallinna ja Viljandi vahelisel kitsarööpmelisel raudteel. Jaamahoone valmis 1901. aastal tüüpprojekti järgi, sarnaselt Võhma, Käru, Surju ja Lelle jaamahoonetega. Järgmisel kümnendil tehti sellele juurdeehitus. Aastatel 1906 kuni 1970 kulges siit kitsarööpmeline haru Kohila paberivabrikusse ja 1960. aastate lõpus ehitati raudtee laiarööpmeliseks. Vana jaamahoone pidas kõigele vastu kuni 2012. aasta kevadeni, mil see lammutati. 2. novembril 2012 avati rongi- ja bussireisijatele uus reisikeskus. Perrooni lõpus seisab endiselt vana veetorn, mille taastamiseks on kohalik Naiskodukaitse raha kogunud.
