Presidente Altino (CPTM)

Presidente Altino is a train station on ViaMobilidade Lines 8-Diamond and 9-Emerald, located in the district of President Altino in the city of Osasco.

[1] The station had its construction started in mid-1918 by Sorocaba Railway, named Km 14, but in the same year was renamed to Presidente Altino, a tribute to Altino Arantes, then President of the State of São Paulo and who privatized EFS in 1919.

In 1976, Fepasa begins the modernization of commuter trains and expand the existing maintenance yard next to the new station.

To expand the access capacity of Presidente Altino station, Fepasa hired Construtora Azevedo e Travassos and Maubertec Engenharia e Projetos Ltda to implement a 170 metres (560 ft) catwalk over the station yard.

To implement it, without interfering in the yard of the railway operation, it was used for the first time in Brazil the increment launch method, created in Germany.
