At the time, it only handled the technical operation of freight trains.

The Zhangtang railway freight engineers used this station to switch shifts.

On November 12, 2017, the trains that were originally meant to arrive and depart from Zhangjiakou railway station were moved here due to reconstruction.

Because Zhangjiakou South railway station is much farther away from the city center than the Zhangjiakou railway station, the bus routes 1, 10, 11 and 33 were extended to arrive at this destination.

Passengers can take this bus to arrive to and depart from either railway station.
