The high-capacity freight station of Salas de los Infantes

Salas de los Infantes train station was constructed by the Compañía del Ferrocarril Santander-Mediterráneo. The facilities were dedicated especially to freight traffic, reaching to be one of the stations on the line with the greatest capacity. The station featured a passenger building, more than a dozen service tracks, a rotunda, warehouses, and a water tank.

In 1941, with the nationalization of the Iberian gauge railways, the facilities passed to RENFE. The station ceased to provide service in January 1985, when the Santander-Mediterráneo line was closed to traffic.

Today, the station is out of service, although it maintains the intact railway network. The facilities were situated at kilometer 191.442 of the Santander-Mediterráneo line, at an altitude of 947 meters above sea level.
