In July 1926, it was reported that work was to resume on the Sabor line on the section beyond Carviçais, after a long period of interruption. By this time, several stations had already been completed for several years, including the one at Freixo de Espada à Cinta.[2] The passenger building was located on the southeast side of the track. The section between Carviçais and Lagoaça opened for service on July 6, 1927.[3]
