The Vilar de Rei halt was an interface of the Sabor line, which served the town of Vilar de Rei, in the municipality of Mogadouro, in Portugal.

History

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]
