Due to the mountainous terrain of the land, the railway will not be built directly near the city of Yozgat. The station will become the realization of the Turkish State Railways' 70-year-old plan to build a railway line to Yozgat as the original railway was planned to be built from Yerköy to Yozgat in 1948.[1]
