Opened in June 1894 as Sorovits railway station Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Πάτελι, romanized: Sidirodromikós stathmós Sorovits)[3] in what was then the Ottoman Empire at the completion of the Société du Chemin de Fer ottoman Salonique-Monastir, a branchline of the Chemins de fer Orientaux from Thessaloniki to Bitola.

[5] Industrial branch lines connect to the PPC power plants of Ptolemais and Agios Dimitrios, normally used by freight trains carrying light fuel oil.

In 1970, OSE became the legal successor to the SEK, taking over responsibilities for most of Greece's rail infrastructure.

On 1 January 1971, the station and most of Greek rail infrastructure where transferred to the Hellenic Railways Organisation S.A., a state-owned corporation.

Freight traffic declined sharply when the state-imposed monopoly of OSE for the transport of agricultural products and fertilisers ended in the early 1990s.

In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network.

Timetables were cutback, and routes closed as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads; this included the Kozani–Amyntaio line.

From 1 August 2009, the passenger services were reduced to only one train per day [8] and the passenger services were withdrawn completely in 2010, as part of the reorganization of Trainose, and under the pretext that the line was considered unprofitable, depriving the prefecture of Kozani and the cities of Ptolemaida and Kozani of a rail connection.

There are no dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens or timetable poster boards on the platforms.
