 Rosario Central managed seventy daily train services between 1935 and 1940, with an annual average of 438,000 passengers.Most local and mid-distance train services were cancelled in 1977, and Rosario Central Station was shut down and left abandoned.Starting in 1987, the rails joining the station with the port were removed to leave room for the construction of the "Avenida Ribereña Central" (Central Riverside Avenue).
