The Vilar de Rei interface in 1935, still with the category of station instead of halt.

This stop was part of the section of the Sabor Line between Lagoaça and Mogadouro, which opened for operation on 1 June 1930. [1] In August 1932, the Companhia Nacional de Caminhos de Ferro began building housing for porters and a covered quay for goods at this interface, which had the category of station at the time, these works were almost finished by the beginning of the following year. [2]

The Sabor line was closed on 1 August 1988, and so did the Vilar de Rei halt. [3]

Barreiro is a railway station on the Alentejo Line that serves as a connection between rail services on the South Bank of the Tagus and Soflusa's river transport to Lisbon, Portugal. The first Barreiro station began operating on June 15, 1857, although it was not inaugurated until February 1, 1861. Since it was too far from the river pier, a new station was built and inaugurated in 1884. This station included an important workshop hub, which underwent extension work during the 1900s, but the facilities were becoming insufficient for the demand by the following decade. However, political and social instability, which was reflected in the administration of the railroads, dragged out the process. It was not until the 1930s that the new workshops were completed. Meanwhile, in 1923 the Ramal do Seixal branch line went into service, and in 1935 the railway between Barreiro and Lavradio was duplicated. The Barreiro station was remodeled and expanded in 1943, and in the 1950s the workshops began to house diesel locomotives from other lines that had been electrified. On December 14, 2008, a new Barreiro station was inaugurated, and the old one was closed.
