Bagneaux-sur-Loing: station history
Served by: Transilien R.
Did you know?
A passenger stop on Transilien line R, in Seine-et-Marne, between Nemours - Saint-Pierre and Souppes - Château-Landon, beside the Loing canal. It opened in 1916 under the PLM company, after the commune asked for it at the end of 1910: the company agreed to open a station if the commune provided 433 m² of land and paid 26,000 francs. The original building, a former level-crossing keeper's house that had been extended, disappeared before the 2000s; passengers cross from one platform to the other at level crossing no. 12.
Anecdote
In the village, the church of Notre-Dame-des-Verriers was built between 1968 and 1971 by the glassworks employees, who found the church of Saint-Léonard too small: the glassworks, an important local industry since the 18th century, gave it its name. Deconsecrated in 2010, it became the « maison des Verriers »: its gabled facade and coloured windows high up the walls make it a building « unique of its kind », which hosts exhibitions and a small collection of Pyrex tableware.
