History

Opening ceremony at Chengdu railway station on July 1st, 1952

Opened in 1952, Chengdu railway station is commonly called by locals as "火车北站" (North railway station) for decades to distinguish from Chengdu South railway station opened in 1970, called as "火车南站" (South railway station). And the connecting Chengdu Metro station is called so. However, outsiders may get confused because there is another officially named Chengdu North railway station established in 2007, 17 km (11 mi) north of this station, which is a large freight marshalling area and handles no passengers.

Since 11 October 2022, the station has been closed for refurbishment with passenger services diverted to other stations in Chengdu.^[1] It will be served by Chengdu–Chongqing Central line high-speed railway when the renovation completed.
