Draft:Carviçais railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Carviçais railway station, originally called Carviçaes,[1] was a station on the Sabor Line that used to serve the town of Carviçais, in the municipality of Torre de Moncorvo, Portugal.

Description[edit]

The Carviçais railway station complex had, in addition to the main building for passenger use (which was located on the south-east side of the track),[2] a warehouse for goods. It also had a wye for reversing locomotives.[3] Traces of the wye can still be seen in an aerial photograph, to the north of the track, about 100 metres east of the main building. Next to the station, on the side of the track, was a barn belonging to the Empresa para Agroalimentação e Cereais [pt].
