La Plana – Picamoixons is a railway station owned by adif located in the town of Picamoixons in the municipality of Valls, in the comarca of Alt Camp. The station is on the Tarragona-Reus-Lleida line, and it is served by trains of the R13 and R14 lines of the Rodalies de Catalunya, operated by Renfe Operadora.

This station entered service in 1863 when the section built by the Reus to Montblanc Railway Company between the Reus (1856) and Montblanc went into operation.[1]

Despite not being close to a significant population center, the station is of certain importance, as it is here that the line to Lleida bifurcates, one branch going to Reus and Tarragona and the other to Valls and Sant Vicenç de Calders.

In 2016, the station recorded the entry of 6,000 passengers.[2]
