[3] Although small in size, the station provided rail connections to cities such as Arad, Orșova, Bucharest, Reșița, as well as other nearby localities.

[4] Its original name was Josefstädter Bahnhof (in German)[5] or Józsefvárosi indóház (in Hungarian),[6] translated as Iosefin railway station, after the name of the district where it is located.

Built in neoclassical style, under the influence of the French Renaissance, the complex was dominated by the main body with three monumental arched gates guarded laterally by two bastions with towers and the facade was decorated with a group of four statues framed by first-floor windows.

[3] In the middle of the station square was a small park surrounded by an iron fence and planted with conifers.

The works mainly aim at restoring the facade, repairing the pedestrian tunnel and arranging the station forecourt.
