Old Abejar station
In the past, this building was part of the railway infrastructure of the line connecting Calatayud with Cidad Dosante (Burgos). This line was conceived as part of a wider connection intended to link the ports of Santander and Sagunto. The ambitious project first got off the ground in the late 19th and early 20th century.
In 1920, the provincial councils of Burgos, Santander, Soria and Zaragoza supported the construction of the central sections of the Santander-Mediterranean railway. It would be in 1930 before the section between Calatayud and Cidad-Dosante (Burgos) was completed. However, the connection to Santander was never completed, with the final 35 km remaining incomplete. Ultimately the project was deemed not to be economically viable and services ceased definitively in 1985, abandoning sections such as this one that had been operating.
After the cessation of the railway service some buildings were leased to municipalities or private individuals. That is the case here, with the lease on the hold railway station held by the local council. Despite the fact that in recent years the surroundings of this infrastructure have been refurbished as part of the of the Greenway Nature Trail, the station itself lies in ruins.
