Gare de Rouen Orléans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rouen Orléans was a large station serving the Norman city of Rouen, built by the CF d'Orléans à Rouen. The station was situated along the quais of the River Seine to the south of city's centre.
The station opened on 7 January 1883 when the line from Orléans to Rouen opened to service. The station building was replaced by a new construction built by Juste Lisch. It was destroyed in 1944 by the allied bombardments and was not reopened to passenger traffic. The goods yard of the same name which replaced the station was moved to the West.
The Haute-Normandie region council tower now stands on the site of the former station.
