[3] On 17 September 1840, the Paris to Orléans Railway Company (Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans, or PO) inaugurated the line from Paris-Austerlitz to Corbeil, following the left bank of the Seine.

The presence of numerous mills along the Essonne River in Corbeil and the abundance of grain warehouses in the area justified the development of this route.

In the 1880s, services on the Paris Grande Ceinture line were introduced, necessitating the opening of the Juvisy marshalling yard.

During the first half of the 20th century, passenger and freight traffic continued to increase until the marshalling yard was destroyed by bombings in 1944.

Subsequently, passenger traffic surpassed freight, leading to the closure of the marshalling yard in 1986.
