The Felgar halt (Portuguese: Apeadeiro de Felgar) once stood as a crucial stop of the Sabor Line, since it connected and served the town of Felgar and surrounding areas with the rest of the country via train.[1]
The Felgar halt is officially documented in the Direção-Geral do Património Cultural, within the SIPA department (Architectural Heritage Information System).[2]
