 The railway starting at the station joined Rosario to the city of Córdoba, 396 km to the west.It was the first of the eight lines that eventually worked in Rosario, the country's longest at the time, and the first line that joined two Argentine provinces.In 1908, after the merging of the Central Argentine and the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway companies, the station was set aside to handle the short- and mid-distance passenger services, while Rosario Norte was destined to long-distance and express services.
