Trilport: station history
Served by: Transilien P.
Did you know?
A station in Seine-et-Marne opened in 1849 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Strasbourg when the Meaux - Épernay section opened to commercial service, then operated by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est. The first buildings were temporary and made of wood; the definitive station building, from the 1850s-1860s, is of the "Est" type 7, of which several copies were built on the line, notably at Esbly. It is a junction station, at kilometre point 50.240, at 61 metres above sea level, the origin of the Trilport to Bazoches line.
Anecdote
A law of 1883 declared the Trilport to La Ferté-Milon line a public utility, and the Compagnie de l'Est began work in 1888. In 1934 the creation of a beach on the banks of the Marne enlivened the station, and the paid holidays of 1936 strengthened this leisure traffic: "Trilport-Plage" was the name of that beach where Parisians came on special trains. A laser-cut cardboard scale model in HO gauge reproduces the Trilport building.
