The railway line

The old railway track has now been lifted. This line, owned by the Paris-Orléans railway company, connected Busseau-sur-Creuse to Ussel for nearly 80 km. The Clairavaux station was the tenth stop, between Croze in the north and Mas d'Artiges in the south. The Felletin-Ussel section opened on June 1st. On the day of the inauguration, August 4, 1905, there were great celebrations around the inaugural convoy. The railway was of great importance for military disarmament transport and troops going on manoeuvres at La Courtine camp.
