History

[edit]

This interface was located on the section of the Sabor line between Pocinho railway station and Carviçais railway station, which entered service on 17 September 1911.[1] The line and the Zimbro halt were closed on 1 August 1988.[2]

The halt is now used as a stop of the Ecopista do Sabor,[3] a greenway that follows the now abandoned Sabor railway line.[4]
