Crécy-la-Chapelle: station history
Served by: Transilien P.
Did you know?
A Seine-et-Marne station, inaugurated on 20 July 1902 by the Compagnie de l'Est as the single-track terminus of the Esbly line. The building follows a standard plan by the architect Paul-Adrien Gouny: asymmetrical, with a stair turret and the stationmaster's flat above the waiting rooms. Work had begun in 1895.
Anecdote
In 1942 the Germans considered extending the line to Coulommiers. The line was electrified in the summer of 1980. In 1935, thirteen return trips in Bidel railcars linked the station to Esbly in about thirty minutes. Avanto trains ran in 2011, replaced since 2022 by Citadis Dualis. Old signs reading « Crécy-en-Brie - La Chapelle » recall the merger of communes in 1972.
