The Maiorca halt, November 2023

The Maiorca halt was a railway halt of the shut down Ramal da Figueira da Foz, which served the town of Maiorca, Coimbra, Portugal, and closed in 2009.[1][2][3]

History

Inauguration

This interface is located on the section between Figueira da Foz and Vilar Formoso, which was inaugurated on 3 August 1882 by the Companhia dos Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses da Beira Alta.[4][5] The Maiorca halt was not among the stations and halts on the line at the time of its inauguration,[6] but this interface was created at a later date.

Closure

On 5 January 2009, the Figueira da Foz branch line was closed to rail traffic for alleged safety reasons.[7][8][9][10] Comboios de Portugal organised a replacement road service, which was completed on 1 January 2012.

As of 2023, the Maiorca halt shows visible signs of vandalism and some signs of structural decay.[11]
