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
[edit]Inauguration
[edit]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
[edit]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]
