In October 1887 the Government granted the operation of Ferrocarril Central Norte's 884 km line (that included the Alta Córdoba-Tucumán, Frías-Santiago del Estero and Recreo-Chubicha branches) to Hume Hnos.

[1] After the entire railway network was nationalised during Juan Perón's administration, the station started to be operated by recently formed Ferrocarriles Argentinos.

The station remained active as an intermediate stop for trains run by Belgrano Railway to La Quiaca in Jujuy Province.

On the other hand, all the long-distance passenger services were closed in March 1993 so the station has remained active for freight trains exclusively since then.

[3][4] The station building was remodeled in 2009, after a project to bring back a service between San Miguel de Tucumán and Tafí Viejo, although it was never reestablished.
