Why is it feminine?

Estación is feminine because it derives from Latin "statio" (a standing, post, or station), which was a third declension noun in Latin. When Latin nouns ending in "-tio/-tionis" (third declension) evolved into Spanish, they became feminine nouns with the "-ción" suffix. The "-ción" suffix is a reliable marker of feminine gender in Spanish, as nearly all Spanish nouns ending in "-ción" are feminine.
