The Variz railway station was a station of the Sabor line, located in the town of Variz, in the parish of Penas Roias, in the municipality of Mogadouro, Portugal.

History

Construction and inauguration

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]

Closure

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