Poá (CPTM)
railway station in São Paulo, Brazil
Poá is a train station on CPTM Line 11-Coral, located in the city of Poá.
History
With the opening of North Railway in mid-1875, supply posts were created between the stations. One of them was in Poá, then district of Mogi das Cruzes. Only on 1 March 1891, a new building was constructed, and the post was promoted to station. With Poá growth, the station existing there was expanded in the 1920s.
The construction of the current station started in 1985 by CBTU. Harmed by financial problems, the building of the new building was concluded only in 1989.
On 1 June 1994, CBTU stations and lines were transferred to CPTM. Since then, the station belongs to this company.
Project
On 29 January 2005, CPTM launched the concurrence no. 8379402011, aiming the modernization/reconstruction of 12 stations divided in 6 allotments of 2 station. Poá station is part of Allotment no.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Poá (CPTM)” is railway station in São Paulo, Brazil. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through CPTM, railway and station, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “railway station in São Paulo, Brazil” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10276060. Authority coordinates are -23.525, -46.344. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1875, 1891, 1985 and 1989.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
