Ramal de Portalegre

Ramal de Portalegre, originally called Linha de Portalegre, is a closed railway line which connected the stations of Estremoz, on the Linha de Évora, and Portalegre, on the Linha do Leste. It was planned to connect Estremoz to Castelo de Vide, on the Ramal de Cáceres, but the railway was only built to Portalegre-Gare.[1] The line was opened on 21 January 1949,[2] and closed in 1990.[3]
