Gare du boulevard Ornano - Paris, France - Photos Then and Now on Waymarking.com

[FR] Elle est bâtie en pont sur les voies de la Petite Ceinture, qui circule en tranchée ouverte à l'ouest et passe en tunnel à l'est. Le bâtiment voyageurs est un édifice de plain-pied sur la place, d'un étage, à l'architecture similaire aux gares de La Chapelle-Saint-Denis et de Charonne1. Les escaliers d'accès aux voies ont disparu mais les quais de la gare subsistent.

La gare est ouverte aux voyageurs en 1869. Comme le reste de la Petite Ceinture, la gare est fermée au trafic voyageurs depuis le 1er avril 1934.

Depuis juin 2014, le bâtiment d'accueil des voyageurs et les quais sont occupés par la Recyclerie, un établissement hybride tenant lieu de bar, restaurant, ressourcerie et espace de loisirs. Une ferme urbaine se déploie sur l'étroit talus qui supporte la rue Belliard.

[EN] The station is built straddling the railway of the Petite Ceinture.

It was opened to passenger traffic in 1869. As with the rest of the Petite Ceinture, the station is closed to passengers since April 1, 1934.

The Petite Ceinture, built between 1852 and 1869, began passenger service in 1862; nearly 40 years before the Metro, it was the first rail urban transit service in Paris. It was owned by five major railroad companies; its original purpose was to allow goods coming from one direction to be transferred to the freight yard of a company running trains to another destination.

Today, except for some sections that were incorporated into the regional RER rail network, the tracks are abandoned.

Since June 2014, the station is used as a bar and restaurant.
