Yarımca station was originally named Körfez until 2012, when the station underwent a complete overhaul. During the reconstruction, the station was reduced from 2 platforms servicing 3 tracks, to 1 platform servicing 1 track. The name was changed to Yarımca and service was greatly reduced. Before 2012, Yarımca was serviced by the famous Haydarpaşa-Adapazarı Regional as well as several other mainline trains.
Yarımca station was originally built by the Ottoman Government in 1873 as part of their line from Istanbul to İzmit.[1]
