Özgüneş station was originally built in 1970 by the Turkish State Railways, when the railway from Ankara to Sincan was double-tracked.[2] It entered service in 1972, when electric commuter service began on the line.

The new station consists of an island platform serving two tracks, within a five-track railway. South of the platform are two tracks for mainline and YHT high-speed trains, while the track north of the platform is a bi-directional track for freight trains and equipment moves.
