Variz railway station

In Series II of Diário do Governo no. 33, of 10 February 1938, a decree was published approving the final acceptance of contract no. 2 for the Sabor Line, executed by the Companhia Geral de Construção. This project included, among other works, the construction of the Variz railway station (at the time a halt), which consisted of a passenger building (located on the north side of the track),[1] a toilet, a platform, fences, a depot, a quay for goods with the corresponding top track, and a second carriageway.[2][3] This contract also included the installation of the telephone network between Mogadouro and Urrós, serving Variz.[3] The section between Mogadouro and Duas Igrejas - Miranda was opened for operation on 22 May 1938.[4]

A decree published in Diário do Governo no. 203, Series II, of 1 September 1938, ordered the signing of a contract with José Teixeira de Magalhães to carry out contract no. 4 on the Sabor line, which consisted of paving the area around the Variz station, already promoted from the status of halt.[5]

The Variz railway station ceased operations as a direct consequence of the closure of the Sabor line on August 1, 1988.[6][7]
