The Bruçó railway station, originally called Bruçô, was an interface of the Sabor line, which served the town of Bruçó [pt], in the Bragança District of Portugal.


Description

The remains of the station are located to the northwest of the town of Bruçó, accessed by road via a dedicated branch of the EM596 road and from there via the EM596-1 road over a distance of 2.3 km (accumulated gradient of +10-70 m). The passenger building was on the right-hand side of the uphill track (towards Duas Igrejas).

Construction and inauguration

On February 16, 1908, the Gazeta dos Caminhos de Ferro [pt] reported that the plan for the section between Carviçais and Bruçó on the Sabor Line would be presented to the Superior Council of Public Works.

On 1 July 1926, the Gazeta dos Caminhos de Ferro reported that work on the Carviçais section of the Sabor Line was about to resume, after a long period of suspension; at that time, several stations had already been completed for some years, including Bruçó (named Bruçô at the time). On 1 June 1930, the section between Lagoaça and Mogadouro, where Bruçó station was located, opened.

In January 1933, houses started being built to house the porters, being concluded the next year.

Closure and abandonment

The Sabor line was closed on the 1st of August 1988, leaving the Bruçó railway station abandoned to this day.
