History
When the Compagnie des chemins de fer des Ardennes opened the 52 km Reims-Laon railway in 1857,[2] the railway halt in Amifontaine had yet to be established.[3] The station was still absent from the line in 1861.[4] However, by 1868, the French writer Adolphe Joanne indicated the station was in operation in his book Itinéraire général de la France : Vosges et Ardennes.[5] At the time the station served a population of 437 in Amifontaine only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.[5]
