Located between 302nd St. and 351st St. on the İzmir-Eğirdir railway, the station lies 1.3 km (0.81 mi) east of Gaziemir's town center.

Located within İZBAN's Central line, trains run north to Alsancak, Menemen and Aliağa and south to Cumaovası and Tepeköy.

However, it was not until 24 December 1860, that the railway officially opened; when the ORC extended the line 34 km (21 mi) south to Torbalı.

Since the mainline was built just to the east of town, a short branch was constructed from Gaziemir station to Seydiköy, opening in December 1876.

[3] This branch railway was privately owned by two wealthy families and provided a connection for the residents of Seydiköy to the trains of the ORC.

With the expansion of the D.550 highway from four to six lanes, the grade crossing was removed and citing revenue loss for the state railways, the branch was closed in 1986 and Gaziemir ceased to be a junction.

[7] Gaziemir was electrified in 2004, but did not see electric train service as the project was revised to lower the railway underground at Şirinyer.

[11] Gaziemir station is located roughly 300 m (980 ft) east of the D.550 state highway, on the tip of Önder Avenue.
