In 1899, the technical commission that was tasked with studying the plan for complementary lines north of the Mondego proposed a broad gauge line from PocinhotoMiranda do Douro,[4] which served the iron mines of Reboredo and the marble and alabasterquarries of Santo Adrião in Vimioso, then on to the border for a later connection via Zamora and Valladolid.[1] This line was partially classified as metric track by the railway plan, decreed on 15 February 1900, and its construction was approved in 1905.[1]
At the meeting of the Council of Ministers on 10 January, 1934, the draft contract for contract no. 3 of the Sabor line was approved, corresponding to the section between Urrós and Duas Igrejas, and this station was to have road access and a telephone connection.[5]
A decree published in Diário do Governo n. 159, Series 2, of 12 July 1938 authorized the expropriation of land for the installation of an access road to the Duas Igrejas station.[7]
In the General Plan of the Railway Network, published by Decree No. 18:190 of 28 March 1930, the intention to continue the Sabor Line beyond Duas Igrejas to Vimioso, to serve the quarries, was resumed.[8]
