Sociedad General de Ferrocarriles Vasco Asturiana had been devising an extension of its railway, opened in 1904, that transported coal to the port of San Esteban in Pravia and had reached Uxo-Taruelo by 1908.

Its first projected section, Uxo-Taruelo-Coḷḷanzo saw its works begin in 1930, being Coḷḷanzo Station designed by José Avelino Díaz y Fernández Omaña in 1932.

[5][6][7] In the latter half of the 20th century, railway freight transport lost its economic significance, and Ferrocarril de El Vasco accumulated a considerable amount of debts.

[8] Consequently, in 1972, the ownership of this station was transferred to FEVE, a government-owned company established with the objective of operating all narrow-gauge railway lines within Spain.

[12] In 2013, Adif became the owner of the infrastructure and the management of railway lines that were part of FEVE, which was integrated in Renfe.
