History

The Quatre-Routes station was put into service on 10 November 1862 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans (PO), when it opened the section for operation from Brive to Capdenac.^[1]

In 1896, the Compagnie du PO indicated that the station's revenue for the whole year was 134,184 francs.^[2]

The goods hall was disused and transformed into a shopping centre at the end of the 1980s. The passenger building was closed on 1 October 1998 after multiple protests against the action.^[3]

In 2014, it was designated a passenger station of local interest (category C: less than 100,000 passengers per year from 2010 to 2011), which had a platform (single track) and a shelter.
