Ozoir-la-Ferrière: station history
Served by: RER E.
Did you know?
A station in Seine-et-Marne put into service in 1857, when the Nogent - Le Perreux to Nangis section opened to commercial service, by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est; it now belongs to the SNCF. The old station was halfway between Roissy-en-Brie and the present station, in the commune of Roissy, and the new station was inaugurated on 30 September 1984. It is at 111 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 34.207, between Roissy-en-Brie and Gretz-Armainvilliers.
Anecdote
When it opened in 1857 the section at first had only a single track: the second track came into service only on 23 April, two days before the opening of the next section, from Nangis to Flamboin, on 25 April 1857. The line was detached from its historic network linking Paris-Est station and connected to RER line E, which ends at Haussmann - Saint-Lazare station; the platforms went from 0.55 to 0.92 metres in height. The station has three exits, two ticket machines, two ticket windows and the Infogare information system, with a lift for people with reduced mobility.
