The Montagney – Miserey railway was a single-track railway line in eastern France. It connected the two north-south running routes Gray – Fraisans and Besançon – Vesoul from west to east. Passenger trains were run throughout the existence of the route from Gray to Besançon. In the early years three pairs of trains ran daily. The travel time with stops at all stations was just under two hours between Besançon and Gray, and a good hour between Miserey and Montagney.

history

A license application for the line was made in 1862 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM). It is closely related to the concession for the Gray – Fraisans railway line , from which this line was to branch off at Montagney station. On February 1, 1862, the company was granted permission to operate. Two years later, the route was given public interest.

Approval for the construction of this line was given by the Minister for Labor and Public Affairs on June 17, 1878. From the existing line Gray-Fraisans , which had been completed twelve years earlier, a 28.3 km long branch line should be in Montagney in the direction Besançon are run. Small corrections in the alignment resulted in a route length of 29.3 km. The concessionaire was the Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM). The basis for the construction of this route was assumed to be prosperous economic activity along the Ognon , which separates the two departments of Haute-Saône and Doubs .

The entire length of the opening took place on June 17, 1878. On May 20, 1940, passenger traffic was suspended in the Gray – Miserey section. On April 1, 1957, the last freight train ran on the Montagney – Marnay section, and a little later on the entire route. The deed took place on February 13, 1964, from January 11, 2002 it was canceled.
