In the countryside of Crespos, there is a railway station located on the line connecting Ávila and Salamanca. Situated at kilometer 47.656 at an altitude of 931 meters, the station sits between Narros del Castillo and San Pedro del Arroyo. The track is single-line and lacks electrification.
The station was put into service on June 29, 1924, with the opening of the San Pedro del Arroyo-Peñaranda de Bracamonte section. The state took charge of the construction after the original concession companies were unable to complete the work. After a brief period under the Primera División de Ferrocarriles, the station was managed by the Compañía Nacional de los Ferrocarriles del Oeste in 1928, which integrated into RENFE in 1941.
Since December 31, 2004, Adif has been the owner of the facilities. Today, the station still serves the Media Distancia trains that cover the route between Madrid, Ávila, and Salamanca, with the service reduced to one train per direction.
