Linha do Oeste.Caldas da Rainha-Portugal - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

The row follows to Lisbon to the south and the Gold Coast to the north. The trains are the type 0450. The travel time between Caldas and Lisbon is two hours. The line of the West in its original concept, linking Lisbon to Figueira da Foz, through Torres Vedras and Caldas da Rainha. From 1888, date on which this route was opened, until the present day, the logic of exploitation changed, as has changed the very region served by rail. Today, the starting point of the line is the season of Meleças / Mira-Sintra, near the Cacém, with the Lisbon-section Cacém considered only as part of the Line of Sintra. Either way, the hit by train from Lisboa-Oriente, Campolide and Roma-Areeiro - are many and frequent. The Line of the West will go about 200 km to the Figueira, crossing two regions separate from a socio-geographic: up to Caldas da Rainha(which is, significantly, half of the journey) and thence to the Figueira. Interestingly, if the first half of the trip runs through the area still polarized by Lisbon, the environment and design of the stations are characteristically “oitocentistas”. This is the case of iron “alpendres” protecting the pier, the typical buildings of the stations with ground floor and first floor and the type of records of panels with the names of marshalling. Until Caldas you are in the realm of tile rail: they are decorated in effect the seasons of Mafra (Carlos Mourinho, Gomes and Salvador, 1934), Outeiro (where you can see a curious representation of the battle between Anglo-French in 1808 and lusos , By J. Oliveira, also creator of the famous tiles of the station's Pinion, Line Douro), Bombarral (where the allusions to viticulture could not miss - Jorge Pinto, 1930), Millbrae (with representation of some aspects of village - heritage - Victoria J. Pereira, 1943) and Caldas da Rainha (Carlos Aleluia, 1924).
