The French train station Aillevillers is now a regional train station in the Haute-Saône department and was an important crossroads maintained by the SNCF . It is operated by TER Franche-Comté .
history
The station was inaugurated on February 4, 1860 with the arrival of the Aillevillers – Port-d'Atelier-Amance line, built by the Chemin de fer de l'Est (French Eastern Railway) . The construction of the train station south of the town center created another development zone there. On September 24, 1863, the Blainville-Damelevières-Lure railway was added, which initially ended in Aillevillers. There was thus a connection to the east via Port-d'Atelier-Amance to the Paris – Mulhouse line and via Épinal to the north to the Paris – Strasbourg line . It was not until 15 years later that this line was completed to the south as far as Lure, and the Aillevillers – Plombières-les-Bains railway line was built in addition to the east to Plombières-les-Bains station. Extensive track systems and several platforms, which are still visible today, bear witness to this past.
The station has been downgraded to a stopping point since 2010 and only serves as a waiting room in the building, while a counter was previously manned by staff.
Dismantling
In 1978, after a hundred years of operation, the line to Plombières was closed again, and in 1991 that to Port-d'Atelier-Amance. Due to the peripheral location within the department, the connection to the northern department of Vosges was limited to one pair of trains in 2009, while four connections are offered daily on the route to Lure. In line with these line closures, the importance of the station declined. In particular, the final cessation of the water trains (Trains d'eaux) to the thermal bathing resorts on the western edge of the Vosges in 2002 contributed to this.
building
The structure is rather simple in its execution, as the train station did not have a representative function. It consists of a central, two-storey sandstone Einheitsbautyp in rectangular design with a traufständigen , very shallow hipped roof . The three-axis building is divided horizontally by a cornice band that runs at the level of the eaves lower edges of the side extensions. These two side extensions are only one-story and covered by simple saddle roofs. To house platform extends toward a continuous canopy that of cast iron is carried columns.
There is a spacious square in front of the building, some of which are planted like a park. South of the reception building on the route to Lure were two loading tracks with a goods shed.
