La Ferté-Milon: station history
Served by: Transilien P.
Did you know?
A station in the Aisne whose station building dates from 1885: an « Est » type C building in its late version, identical to those built in 1894 on the rest of the line, whose decoration is richer than that of the 1885 stations. It is a former junction station, at kilometre point 79.842 of the Trilport to Bazoches line and kilometre point 113.189 of the former Rethondes to La Ferté-Milon line, now declassified. It stands at an altitude of 69 metres.
Anecdote
At its opening, the station was part of a line coming from Château-Thierry, before the rest of the line, from Trilport to La Ferté-Milon and from Oulchy-Breny to Bazoches, opened to traffic; a notice in the Journal officiel of 29 May 1894 is cited. It is no longer a terminal station. There are no longer passenger trains between La Ferté-Milon and Fismes, replaced by buses, the SNCF citing the poor condition of the line to the east. Passengers change platform by a boarded crossing.
