The station opened in 1971 as part of Greek efforts to create a passing loop for the CO. The then SEK designed and constructed a direct connection between Nea Vyssa and Marasia within the Greek borders, bypassing KaraaÃÂaç. The new line section included Kastanies railway station and a new bridge over the river Ardas. KaraaÃÂaç railway station was abandoned, the track lifted and the building converted to other use.
Following the Tempi crash, Hellenic Train announced rail replacement bus's on certain routes across the Greek rail network, starting Wednesday 15 March 2023.
In August 2025, the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport confirmed the creation of a new body, Greek Railways () to assume responsibility for rail infrastructure, planning, modernisation projects, and rolling stock across Greece. Previously, these functions were divided among several state-owned entities: OSE, which managed infrastructure; ERGOSÃÂ, responsible for modernisation projects; and GAIAOSÃÂ, which owned stations, buildings, and rolling stock. OSE had overseen both infrastructure and operations until its vertical separation in 2005. Rail safety has been identified as a key priority. The merger follows the July approval of a Parliamentary Bill to restructure the national railway system, a direct response to the Tempi accident of February 2023, in which 43 people died after a head-on collision.
