[1] Opened in 1902, the station played a significant role in the region's development and the decision to declare it the capital of the National Territory, which was to become the current Province in 1955.

[3] The train connection with the national capital was one of the key factors when governor Bouquet Roldán decided to move the National Territory capital from Chos Malal in the north to the then-newly founded town on the confluence of the Neuquén and Limay rivers, which had existed since the last decades of the 19th century under the name Paraje Confluencia.

Some of its characteristics are facede with exposed brick walls, galvanized sheet roofing, spruce floors, green flagstone baseboards and different wooden structures, such as doors, windows and platform eaves.

[8] The commuting train Tren del Valle, connecting the city with the neighbouring Cipolletti in the Río Negro Province has been re-established in 2015.

[10] Different plans have been considered to build a freight line connecting the petroleum reservoir Vaca Muerta near Añelo and the agricultural region of the Upper Río Negro Valley with the Bahía Blanca harbor, being Neuquén one of the stops.
