History
editCuloz station was put into service on 20 July 1857 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Lyon à Genève, along with a section of railway between Ambérieu and Seyssel.
The railway line was re-bought by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM) in 1858. On 2 September 1858, the Maurienne railway was inaugurated by the Compagnie du chemin de fer Victor-Emmanuel between a bridge crossing the Rhône and the station.
The historic station vestibule, which fronts the street, has been the subject of the title of monuments historiques since 23 January 2009.[1] This protection didn't affect the second larger building, constructed at the same time between the platforms, which was removed in 2009.[2]
In 2019, the SNCF estimated that 260,868 passengers traveled through the station.[3]
