The station was located at kilometre point 44.475 on the Tharsis-Río Odiel narrow-gauge railway line, at an altitude of 7 metres above sea level.

In the Corrales area, an important railway station was built, dedicated to the formation and classification of mining trains.

In 1981, the state-owned company RENFE provided a link between its Gibraleón-Ayamonte line and the Corrales station by installing a third rail to the original mining railway track.

After the closure of the railway, between 2002 and 2003 the building underwent a complete restoration by the San José Obrero II Workshop School.
