The Felgar halt (Portuguese: Apeadeiro de Felgar) once stood as a crucial stop of the Sabor Line, since it connected and served the town of Felgar and surrounding areas with the rest of the country via train.[1]

The Felgar halt is officially documented in the Direção-Geral do Património Cultural, within the SIPA department (Architectural Heritage Information System).[2]

History

The Felgar halt was situated on the section of the Sabor Line running between Pocinho and Carviçais, inaugurated on 17 September, 1911.[3] [4] The line, along with the halt, ceased operations in the first day of August of 1988.
