Former Railway station in Portugal
The Quinta das Torres halt was a railway interface on the Northern line, which served the local navy school in the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, in Portugal. It was served by the Azambuja line of the Lisbon suburban train network.
History
This interface was part of the section between Santa Apolónia and Carregado on the Norte line, which opened on September 28, 1856.[1][2] On January 9, 1936, the Ministry of Planning approved a draft notice to the public regarding its opening, with the status of a halt.[3] In 1985 this interface was described as having two platforms (usual for a station on a double track line), with no passenger building. It ceased to appear on the Azambuja line timetable on December 13, 2009,[4] because its operation was no longer justified after the closure of the Navy school.
