Thanon Chira Junction was opened on 1 November 1922 as the Thanon Chira railway station on part of the Tha Chang section of the Ubon Line (21 km). The station became a junction in 1934 once the line to Khon Kaen was completed,[1] and opened on 1 April 1933. The location of the station is important because it is close to both Nakhon Ratchasima and the gate of Fort Suranaree (the headquarters of 2nd Army Region). Initially, the station was a wooden structure until after World War II, when a concrete structure replaced the dilapidated wooden station. The station has a container crane to handle container loading.
