Opened in 1904 , it was a station on the Beijing-Hankou Railway ( now part of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway ) . At the beginning , the station had only one platform and four tracks . In 1908 , the Kaifeng-Luoyang Railway ( now part of Longhai Railway ) was put into operation , making the station an important railway junction . In 1913 , the station was renamed as Zheng County railway station ( ) . Ticket offices and platform canopies were put into use in 1928 and the freight yard was constructed in 1932 . During the Second Sino-Japanese War , the station was severely damaged due to air strike by the Japanese army in February 1938 and the tracks between Zhengzhou and Zhongmu were destroyed in May 1938 by the flood . Services were therefore suspended
