The train stop time forgot

The train stop time forgot

Step back a century to a Spanish rail crossing marked by K-rails and cowboy hats.

In the Spanish municipality of Crespos, there exists a train station frozen in time. This station, named the same as the town, can be found on the line connecting Ávila with Salamanca, at kilometer 47.656. The rails, running one-way and not electrified, harken back to a different era. It's a tale of a time-worn rail crossing, lined with silent K-rails, empty platforms, and cowboy hats that cling to the vintage charm of the early 1920s. The Crespos train station has stood the test of time, still in service today.
