History

When the Compagnie des chemins de fer des Ardennes opened the 52 km Reims-Laon railway in 1857, [3] the railway halt in Amifontaine had yet to be established. [4] The station was still absent from the line in 1861. [5] 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. [6] At the time the station served a population of 437 in Amifontaine only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. [6]
