History

Originally, the station was owned by Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México (N de M), but after the company was privatized, the station was closed. Ferrocarriles Suburbanos acquired the station and was remodeled beginning in 2007 in preparation for the launch of commuter rail service to Cuautitlán Izcalli in the State of Mexico.

In 2012 a large enclosed shopping mall was opened on three floors topping the ground-level station and tracks,

Sears
.

In addition to being a terminus of Metro Line B, the railway station is also a stop for three Metrobús lines, Mexico City's bus rapid transit system.[5]
