It served as the terminus for the [[Jaffa–Jerusalem railway]]. The station opened in 1891 and closed in 1948. In 2005–09, the station was restored and converted into an entertainment and leisure venue marketed as "HaTachana", Hebrew for "the station" (see homepage here:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hatachana.co.il/en/|title=Hatachana – Culture, Entertainment & Leisure}}</ref>).
