Gare de Bordeaux Etat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bordeaux-Etat or Bordeaux-Deschamps was a mainline railway station in the French city of Bordeaux.
The station was at the terminus of the line from Paris of the CF de l'Etat. The station opened late on 1 August 1896 after years of building a line to compete with the PO's line also from Paris.
On 01 July 1893 the last portion of the main line was opened and Etat trains were permitted to use the PO's Saint-Jean station three years later, the 2km long branch to Bordeaux-Etat was opened as well as the station. Only a small number of trains ever used the station as most were routed to Saint-Jean to allow passengers to use connecting services.
Bordeaux-Etat was closed at the creation of the SNCF and all services rerouted to Saint-Jean. The station was situated near Quai Deschamps where a fire station now stands.
