Cheylard railway station

Gare du Cheylard was a railway station located in the commune of Cheylard in the Ardèche department in France from 1893 until it ceased operations in 1968. From there, metre-gauge lines of the Departmental Railway led to La Voulte, Tournon and Dunières.

The connection of the village of Le Cheylard to the railway network was proposed in 1878 in the Freycinet Plan, which provided for a branch line from La Voulte via Le Cheylard to Yssingeaux and a connection of this line to Tournon-sur-Rhône. A year later, a law was passed by parliament establishing Le Cheylard as the terminus of the Tournon line and a new connection of the line at Yssingeaux with the main railway network at Dunières. In 1883, a contract was signed between the French State and the CFD for the construction and operation of the railways.
