Now a terminus, Sultan Street station remained accessible from the main line via a junction at what is now Salak Selatan Komuter station. A new station building was constructed for the terminus station. The station's closure date is unknown, but it is still shown on the 1962 official Malayan topographical survey map. Moreover, the station was noted as having a diesel railcar service to Seremban railway station, which was affected by a railway strike in December 1962.
