Construction of the first central station with a steel frame and roof to cover the platforms was completed in 1900.
The construction of the first central station was completed in 1857 as well as the first section of the line that connected Santiago to San Fernando, located 140 km south of the capital. In 1896, a metal frame and a roof to cover the platforms were added. The metal structure was built by the Schneider factories in Le Creusot, according to the plans drawn by Gustave Eiffel. The construction was completed in 1900 and the building has kept this configuration until today. Today, the station is the starting point of the Santiago-Chillán line.

Avec sa sculpture identique à celle de nos gares de la même époque, cette construction est intéressante sur le plan de l'architecture. Aujourd'hui en plus de l'activité ferroviaire un centre commercial composé de petites échoppes de produit chinois et locaux a pris place à l'intérieur. L'utilisation par ces commerces des anciens kiosques est originale.
