Between 1904 and 1931 Fâchin had a rail connection on one of the Tacot du Morvan lines from Autun to Château-Chinon (Ville) . The station was located in the hamlet of Le Châtelet on the Étang d'Yonne on the right bank of the Yonne, which already belongs to the municipality of Arleuf. In 1936 the track systems were dismantled.
