Godoy Cruz is a light rail station and former railway station in the city of Godoy Cruz, in the department of the same name in Mendoza Province, Argentina.
History
The San Vicente station (renamed Godoy Cruz in 1902) was already on the schedules of the Argentine Great Western Railway, around 1887. On 1 August 1901, the Argentine Great Western opened a branch from General Gutiérrez to Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, and the following year, given the increase in demand, the San Martín Avenue was raised on a bridge. This was the first of many new local passenger services, including the 1903 es:Circuito Guaymallén, the 1908 Rivadavia-Alto Verde, and the 1912 line from Luján de Cuyo to Mendoza, via Mayor Drummond.
The station was reopened on 28 February 2012, as a station on the new Metrotranvia Mendoza.
