History
The station was opened in April 1891 in the Eloy Palacios town by
Rosario with Eloy Palacios.[2]
In 1906, the municipality of Rosario changed the town's name to "Barrio Vila", the same than the railway station built by the Central Argentine.[2]
After the
railway nationalization in 1949, the station was managed by the General Bartolomé Mitre Railway division of Ferrocarriles Argentinos.[2]
In 1977 Barrio Vila station was closed, as almost all passenger services were eliminated.[3] Like other stations of the former Mitre Railway, it is maintained nowadays by freight company Nuevo Central Argentino.
