History
The station was built on the Ferrocarril Panamericano, a line that, since 1908, connected the towns on the coast of Chiapas and Soconusco. The line also connects the Ferrocarril Transístmico with Guatemala. On 1 November 1904, the 192-kilometer stretch from San Jerónimo to Polka, passing through Juchitán, was inaugurated.[1]
In 1999, passenger service at the station stopped. During the sexenio of Governor José Murat Casab, the station became the Guadalupe Hinojosa de Murat Public Library. However, the 8.2 magnitude earthquake on 7 September 2017 caused damage. The building was recovered with the participation of the Alfredo Harp Helú Foundation and a year later, the Juchitán city council decided to rename the station in honor of José F. Gómez, as it is currently known.[2]
On November 21, 2025, the station was officially reopened.[3]
