Clatter and steam filled the air. This wasn’t Estação de Vila de Cava as we know it. We’re back in 1883, witnessing its birth as a vital cog in the Rio D’Ouro aqueduct’s construction. Imagine workers bustling, materials arriving by rail, all thanks to this small station. Estação de Vila de Cava wasn’t always a museum. Originally called Cava do Sapê, it served as a sub-rail line. Its purpose? Transporting the very materials and workers needed to build the aqueduct. This crucial line connected the mountains to the city, quenching Rio de Janeiro’s thirst. The station has seen many transformations. It served as a CEDAE office, a resting place for railway workers, and even a school. The echoes of the MOBRAL movement from 1967 still linger within its walls. Estação de Vila de Cava became a hub. It was a point of connection for the Serra do Tinguá and Rio D’Ouro railways. It even briefly experimented with a ticket office. Think of the steam engines pausing here to replenish their water supply. Imagine the modest flow of passengers who used this line, especially after Estação Pavuna became operational. Estação de Vila de Cava holds a special place in the hearts of the locals. It represents the history of Vila de Cava itself. Its modest architecture whispers stories of a time when this area thrived with activity. Though the tracks are gone, the memories remain, etched in the collective social space. This unassuming building witnessed the flow of people, goods, and history, quietly playing its part in the growth of Nova Iguaçu.
