The station opened its doors to passengers on January 10, 1884. The Mauritanian-style building was designed by Professor Bruni. In 1926, the building was reconstructed. In June of the same year, an electric train was launched in the former USSR, for the first time in Azerbaijan, on the Baku-Sabunchu railway.

In 1977, a new station building was built at the Baku passenger station of the railway. The 16-storey building, designed to serve passengers as well as the hotel, is the largest of its kind in the South Caucasus.

At that time, the building, built in the Eastern style, was considered a manifestation of luxury and grandeur. Many elements of the Shirvanshahs' palace were also used on the facade of this building.

As part of the overhaul and reconstruction, eight modern tunnels have been built, four for station and four for the city.
