A station in Seine-et-Marne whose station building was opened in 1860 by the PLM, on the Moret - Veneux-les-Sablons to Lyon-Perrache line, between Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons and Bourron-Marlotte - Grez, 82 metres above sea level. It opened with the Moret to Montargis section, which passes south of the village of Marlotte. Traffic at first comprised four daily return trips by stopping train. In 1911, the station appears in the PLM list under the name "Montigny-Marlotte".
Anecdote
When the commune of Bourron became Bourron-Marlotte with the attachment of the hamlet of Marlotte, the station was renamed "Gare de Montigny-sur-Loing". Today it is an unstaffed stopping point with free access, with a machine for buying tickets and automatic toilets on the platform. The 1860 building was reused under the SNCF's "1001 gares" programme: "Le Local" offers a cafeteria, local products, books and bicycle hire.
