History
editConstruction and inauguration
editOn February 16, 1908, the Gazeta dos Caminhos de Ferro reported that the plan for the section between Carviçais and Bruçó on the Sabor Line would be presented to the Superior Council of Public Works.[2]
On 1 July 1926, the Gazeta dos Caminhos de Ferro reported that work on the Carviçais section of the Sabor Line was about to resume, after a long period of suspension; at that time, several stations had already been completed for some years, including Bruçó (named Bruçô at the time).[3] On 1 June 1930, the section between Lagoaça and Mogadouro, where Bruçó station was located, opened.[4]
In January 1933, houses started being built to house the porters,[5] being concluded the next year.[6]
Closure and abandonment
editThe Sabor line was closed on the 1st of August 1988, leaving the Bruçó railway station abandoned to this day.[7][8]
