History

edit

The San Vicente station (renamed Godoy Cruz in 1902) was already on the schedules of the Argentine Great Western Railway, around 1887. On 1 August 1901, the Argentine Great Western opened a branch from General Gutiérrez to Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, and the following year, given the increase in demand, the San Martín Avenue was raised on a bridge. This was the first of many new local passenger services, including the 1903 es:Circuito Guaymallén, the 1908 Rivadavia-Alto Verde, and the 1912 line from Luján de Cuyo to Mendoza, via Mayor Drummond.

The station was reopened on 28 February 2012, as a station on the new Metrotranvia Mendoza.
