History
The station building was built in the 1870s with es:bahareque and structurally improved in 1905 by adding wood panels, it was used for freight and passenger transportation, and fell to disrepair in the middle of the 20th century. In 1992 the passenger service from the station towards San José was reestablished, which then in 1995 was stopped due to the closure of Incofer, and reopened for service again in 2009.
