History
The station opened in 1936.[1] In 1956, the station was renamed Chenzhou Station and came under the management of the Guangzhou Railway Bureau. In 1958, the station's second platform was demolished and rebuilt into two arrival and departure tracks; in 1970, five additional freight tracks were added. All passenger services were suspended on 10 April 2021 to allow the station to be rebuilt.[2]
In 2012, the station began operating commuter trains 8629/8630 to Baishidu,[3] which continued until the service was discontinued in 2022.
In 2014, the station's forecourt underwent an upgrade and renovation project, which was completed in November of the same year.[4][5][6]
