history
The Ramal de Campista was put into operation on September 3, 1897 by the railway company EF Campista. He connected the city of Campos in today's state of Rio de Janeiro with the coastal town of Atafona. In 1902 the railway line was sold to the Estrada de Ferro Leopoldina company and has been called Ramal de Campista since then.
There was passenger traffic on this route until the end of the 1960s. The line was shut down in parts in 1966, but the entire line was never officially shut down.
