The station of Cidones

Historical milestone · Cidones, Frentes, Soria

Image of Cidones, not of the place itself.

The village had a station at kilometre point 112.701 of the Santander-Mediterráneo Iberian-gauge line, at 1082 metres above sea level, built by the Compañía del Ferrocarril Santander-Mediterráneo and in service between 1929 and 1985. In 1941, with the nationalisation of the Iberian-gauge railways, it passed into the hands of RENFE, and around 1967 it was downgraded and reclassified as a halt. Its closure, along with that of the whole line in 1985, left without a train a region that was already losing population and today has 313 inhabitants spread across four settlements; the old facilities now stand abandoned.
