Origin and history

The station of Sincey-lès-Rouvray, located in the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, was built in 1881 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris in Lyon and the Mediterranean (PLM). Commissioned on 23 August 1882, it marked the opening of the last section of the Cravant-Bazarnes line at Dracy-Saint-Loup, linking Maison-Dieu to Dracy-Saint-Loup. Its passenger building, typical of the PLM style, included a zinc marquise, a wharf shelter, and watchmaking elements.

In 2010, reduced to staff-free status, the station was served by TER Bourgogne trains on the Avallon-Autun route. Its final closure took place on 10 December 2011, with the stoppage of passenger and freight traffic between Avallon and Dracy-Saint-Loup. Despite this, all the buildings, listed in the additional inventory of the Historical Monuments since 28 December 1984, today bears witness to the 19th century railway architecture.

Located 373 metres above sea level (PK 247,705), the station was surrounded by the closed stops of Saint-André-en-Terre-Plaine and Brécy, as well as the station of La Roche-en-Brenil. Its heritage inscription in 1984 covers the passenger building, the ancillary installations (shelter, bells, clock) and the assigned land (cadastre ZK 59, 33). A public property, it illustrates the legacy of the PLM Company, nationalized in 1938 under the SNCF.

The station of Sincey-lès-Rouvray reflects the history of French secondary lines, often sacrificed in the 20th century for the benefit of the main axes. Its modest but functional architecture, characteristic of the rural stations of the time, makes it a representative example of the PLM network in Burgundy. The protected elements, such as the marquise or clock, highlight the attention paid to the preservation of technical and aesthetic details.

Today closed, the station remains a geographical and historical landmark for the commune, located at 4 Impasse de la Gare. Its state of conservation, considered satisfactory (note 7/10), makes it possible to envisage projects of heritage valuation, although its exact location is sometimes subject to cartographic approximations (poor precision depending on the sources).
