History

Ticket gates area and station mezzanine, after its rebuilt.

The station was built by Santa Branca Farm, owner of Romanópolis company and delivered to Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil (EFCB) on 29 July 1926.[1] It was named Ferraz de Vasconcelos after José Ferraz de Vasconcellos, chief of 2nd Traffic District of EFCB, who died in 1924. The station gave rise to the homonymous city, and in 1944 received a new building, which was reformed and delivered by RFFSA on 27 August 1983. In 1994, the station was transferred to CPTM.

Projects

CPTM is currently modernizing its lines, in which was included the rebuilt of Ferraz de Vasconcelos station. In mid-2011, a temporary station was built, which was working on September of the same year and the old one was demolished months later. However, the construction had been practically on hold for a year.

The temporary station, built beside a brook, was target of complaint because of technical irregularities in technical rules, as steps size, extensive stairs, and catwalk and platforms made of wood. Initially, the deliver date was scheduled to the end of 2012, but CPTM only opened it on 26 August 2015, 3 year later.[2]
