The railway from Segovia to Medina

Historical milestone · Nava de la Asunción, Tierra de Pinares, Segovia

Image of Nava de la Asunción, not of the place itself.

The 93-kilometre railway line from Segovia to Medina del Campo opened in 1884 as part of an alternative route to the Madrid-Hendaye line and served the villages of the Segovian and Valladolid pine woods until its closure in 1993 for lack of profitability. After the closure the tracks were lifted on the Segovia-Olmedo section, today converted into a greenway used by walkers and cyclists, where stations such as that of Nava de la Asunción are preserved; the Olmedo-Medina del Campo section, by contrast, remains without commercial service, and part of its route has been reused for the Madrid-Segovia-Valladolid high-speed line.
