History[]

The Ormoy-Villiers–Boves railway, on which the station is situated, was an important freight line on which coal was transported from the mines in the North to Paris. This use has declined, part of the line has been abandoned, and the formerly double track railway was reduced to a single track in the 1980s.

An abandoned storage yard and the former junction (abandoned in the 1960s) to the sugar factory are reminders of the industrial past of Tricot (textiles and sugar).
