The history of Vaquerizas railway stop

Vaquerizas is a railway stop that belonged to the C-9 line of Cercanías Madrid. It is located next to the SG-615 road in the municipality of Real Sitio de San Ildefonso in Segovia, Spain.

Until recently, a secondary track with its corresponding switches existed here, allowing for crossings. However, that track was dismantled in the early 21st century, turning the location into a passing stop. The fare corresponded to the Zona Verde according to the Consorcio Regional de Transportes.

Until the summer of 2011, when all intermediate stops between Cercedilla and the Puerto de Navacerrada and between the Puerto de Navacerrada and Los Cotos were closed, this station had a facultative character. This meant that the train only stopped there exclusively at the request of the passenger.
