O Caminho de Ferro Mineiro do Lena foi construído com a finalidade
de transportar minério de carvão das minas da Barrojeira e da
Bezerra até à rede da CP, na estação de Martingança, Linha do
Oeste.
Este caminho de ferro começou a operar em 1924, entre Martingança e
Batalha, com bitola de 60 cm. Em 1928 a linha foi convertida para
bitola métrica, altura em que a grande Skoda 2-8-2, nº 10 começou a
circular.
O CFML continuou a transportar carvão até 1938/39, altura em que
começou a entrar em decadência.
Em 1941 as Skoda foram vendidas para o Ferrocarril de La
Robla.
O restante material circulante foi adquirido pela CP, para as suas
linhas de via métrica. |
