It is the western terminus of the Zonguldak-Filyos Regional and was the former northern terminus of the Karaelmas Express from Ankara.

It was opened in 1937 as the northern terminus of the Irmak-Zonguldak railway.

The railway today is primarily a freight railway as the only passenger service is a thrice-daily regional service to Filyos.

The station is located in the neighborhood of Karaelmas along İstasyon Street in the southern part of the city.
