Valmondois: station history
Served by: Transilien H.
Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise of the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord, terminus of the branch from Ermont-Eaubonne to Valmondois, opened in 1876 as a single track, then doubled in 1889. It is a junction station, at 28 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 36.806 of the Pierrelaye to Creil line, between Auvers-sur-Oise and L'Isle-Adam - Parmain. Its building is asymmetrical, with a narrow low wing and a main block three bays wide under a transverse roof, with a stone facade. The low wing originally had seven bays with a wooden canopy.
Anecdote
The station was the head of a secondary metre-gauge railway of the Société générale des chemins de fer économiques, inaugurated in 1886 as far as Épiais-Rhus and extended to Marines in 1891. It closed in 1949, competed against by individual travel and weakened by its age. The original route ran through the Montmorency valley before a more direct route through Chantilly opened in 1859. The station is served by Transilien line H.
