With the decommissioning in 1990, the most northern section of Line Corgo, between Vila Real and Chaves, the city lost its nearly century train. The area of the old station was the target of recent urban renewal, transformation with some of the old buildings into cultural centers or headquarters of the municipal services. In the former stables of the locomotive works a small railway museum with steam locomotives, a mail-coach and a quad-inspection via the engine.
