Estación de Los Peares - A Peroxa, Ourense, Galicia, España - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

The station is located at kilometer 28.2 of the Iberian gauge railway that connects Monforte de Lemos with Redondela at an altitude of 137 meters, between the San Pedro del Sil and Barra de Miño stations . The section is single-track and electrified. To access the station, and in the direction of Orense, it is necessary to overcome the Los Peares viaduct, an iron bridge that allows you to overcome the Sil river at the point where it joins the Miño river .

The station was inaugurated on December 1, 1884 with the opening of the Monforte de Lemos - Orense section of the line that linked Vigo with Monforte de Lemos. Its initial exploitation was in charge of the Company of the Railroad from Medina to Zamora and from Orense to Vigo . This management was maintained until 1928 when it was absorbed by the Compañía Nacional de los Ferrocarriles del Oeste de España, a public company created to manage several routes, in general deficit, in the west of the country. In 1941, Oeste was one of the companies that joined the recently created RENFE .

Since December 31, 2004, Renfe Operadora has operated the line while Adif is the owner of the railway facilities.

The two-storey building for travelers, with a rectangular base, was restored by the Inorde and the Orense Provincial Council in 2010 to convert it into a railway classroom that includes a permanent exhibition on the history of the railway in the province of Orense and a library related to the same theme. 3 On the other hand, the trains that continue to stop at the station do so mainly on the track that gives access to the side and central platform. Yet another track serves as a section and facilitates the crossing of trains on this single-track layout.

Trains Media Distance from Renfe cover the route León / Ponferrada - Vigo and have a minimum frequency of two trains daily.
