Old Poza de la Sal station
In 1920, the provincial councils of Burgos, Santander, Soria and Zaragoza supported the construction of the central sections of the Santander-Mediterranean railway. In 1930, the section between Calatayud and Cidad-Dosante, of which this station forms part, was completed.
However, technical problems, as well as the low profitability of the line, together with the political instability of the early 20th century meant that, in the end, the complete route of this ambitious project never saw the light of day. In fact, the connection to Santander was never completed, with 35 km of track missing. Nevertheless, some stretches were inaugurated, such as the one that passed through the town of Poza de la Sal.
The line was closed definitively in 1985 and the facilities on the sections that had been inaugurated up to that time were condemned to their fate. The Poza de la Sal station was a high-category facility; its complex included staff housing, a passenger waiting room, and an office for the stationmaster. Today, however, the railway site lies abandoned and in an advanced state of disrepair; consequently, a perimeter fence has been installed to keep curious onlookers out due to the risk of the building collapsing.
