The Freixo de Espada à Cinta railway station was a station on the Sabor line, which nominally served the town of Freixo de Espada à Cinta, located 19km away, in the Bragança District of Portugal.
History
Construction and opening
In July 1926, it was reported that work was to resume on the Sabor line on the section beyond Carviçais, after a long period of interruption. By this time, several stations had already been completed for several years, including the one at Freixo de Espada à Cinta. The passenger building was located on the southeast side of the track. The section between Carviçais and Lagoaça opened for service on July 6, 1927.
Road connections
Between 1931 and 1935, the Junta Autónoma das Estradas connected this station to the town of Freixo de Espada à Cinta (today's EN220), shortening the distance by road to 19 km.
Closure
The line and the station were closed on the 1 August 1988.
The roof collapsed between 2014 and 2018 and the station is currently completely abandoned and on a high level of decay.
