Descalvado's railway station in São Paulo state is a historic building opened on 7 November 1882, the day the first train of the Paulista railway company reached the town, ending the era of mule trains carrying coffee to the port of Santos. The station was an important junction: the end of the Descalvado branch from Cordeirópolis and the start of a farm line serving the region's coffee estates. It was built on land given by a relative of Admiral Tamandaré and remodelled in the 1910s into its present form, an eclectic brick building beneath a large metal canopy with cut-out edges that reaches over the platforms. Trains stopped calling in the early 1980s. The building has been listed by the state since January 1987 and now houses municipal cultural bodies. It pairs well with a visit to the nearby Salto do Pântano waterfall.
