Montry-Condé: station history
Served by: Transilien P.
Did you know?
A halt in Seine-et-Marne opened by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est at the opening of the Esbly to Crécy-la-Chapelle line (date not given). Its construction allowed the company to develop a new building type, called "type A", with an asymmetrical layout: a tall building serving as the stationmaster's lodging, and a low wing housing the ticket office, a left-luggage room and a small waiting hall. This standard plan became the norm for halts on the Est network.
Anecdote
The Esbly to Coulommiers line is mentioned in a law of 17 July 1879, confirmed on 30 April 1886, then declared of public utility by a decree signed by Sadi Carnot on 10 August 1893; works began in 1895. On 17 October 1897, the mayor of Montry called an extraordinary session of the town council: the council voted a wish for a siding for loading goods from local businesses. The halt, 46 metres above sea level, is in the commune of Montry, opposite Condé-Sainte-Libiaire, from which it is separated by the Grand Morin.
