Other names: Est. Tristão Câmara (ca. 1935)
Figueira station was opened in November 1886 by the railway company E.F. do Grão-Pará (Rio Preto Branch) and was located on the south bank of the Rio Preto in the Município Petrópolis, 110 km north of the capital Rio de Janeiro. The name comes from the nearby Fazenda da Figueira. The line belonged to E.F. Leopoldina from 1890 until it was closed in 1947. From around 1935, the station was called Tristão Câmara, after the owner of the Fazenda da Figueira since 1853. Around 1945, the entire area around the station was flooded during the construction of a dam. Since December 1987, the lost railway station has been in the Município S. José do Vale do Rio Preto.
As Paulo Novaes writes in agenciaspostais.com.br, there had been a post office in the station since June 1886 with the imperial postmark FRJ-0500a (ill. by R. Koester in Carimbologia XIX):

Der Bahnhof Figueira wurde im November 1886 von der Eisenbahngesellschaft E.F. do Grão-Pará (Rio Preto-Abzweigung) eröffnet und lag am Südufer des Rio Preto im Município Petrópolis, 110 km nördlich der Hauptstadt Rio de Janeiro. Der Name stammt von der nahe gelegenen Fazenda da Figueira. Die Strecke gehörte von 1890 bis zu ihrer Stilllegung 1947 der E.F. Leopoldina. Ab etwa 1935 hieß der Bahnhof Tristão Câmara, nach dem Besitzer der Fazenda da Figueira seit 1853. Um 1945 wurde das gesamte Gebiet um den Bahnhof beim Bau eines Staudamms überflutet. Seit Dezember 1987 befindet sich der verschwundene Bahnhof im Município de S. José do Vale do Rio Preto.
Wie Paulo Novaes in agenciaspostais.com.br schreibt, gab es im Bahnhof seit Juni 1886 ein Postamt mit dem kaiserlichen Poststempel FRJ-0500a (Abb. R. Koester in Carimbologia XIX):
