Itaicy (train station/Bahnhof), São Paulo (ISP-1965)

J.M. Ribeiro Lisboa: Provincia de São Paulo, 1884

Itaicy station was opened in 1873 by the E.F. Ytuana railway company (Campinas branch line) and is located on the north bank of the Jundiaí in the Município Indaiatuba, 100 km north-west of the provincial capital of São Paulo. In the Tupi-Guarani language, Itaici means spring by the water. The railway line went to the Cia. União Sorocabana e Ytuana in 1892, to the Sorocabana Railway in 1907, to the E.F. Sorocabana in 1919 and belonged to FEPASA (estacoesferroviarias.com.br) from 1971 until it was shut down around 1988. Today, the tracks have disappeared and the station building has served as a cultural centre for the municipality of Indaiatuba since 2022.
