The station is located on the Tijuana-Tecate railroad line, which was built by concession on April 3, 1908. In 1907, the Inter-California Railway, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad, began construction. Its goal was to connect the port of San Diego, California, with Yuma, the entry point to the mining region of Arizona, through a route through Mexican soil that began in Tijuana and ended in Algodones. near the north-eastern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The Tijuana station, built a few steps from the international dividing line, was completed in December 1919 by the San Diego and Arizona Railway.^[2]

The station is currently housed in a three-story building of 1,000 square meters, which contains new administrative offices, an operations and logistics control center, offices for ADMICARGA, customs control, a customs agency, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the State Committee for Plant Health.

There is also parking space for sixty-eight 18-meter automobiles.^[3] The original train station, built in the late 1920s, will be converted into a railway museum.

The new station is where administrative and operations offices are located, in addition to being where the customs procedures necessary for a safe border crossing are carried out.^[4]
