The journey began at Livração, where the Line of Tâmega connected to the Douro Line, and ended at Arco de Baúlhe. According to the Municipality, the construction of this narrow track line extended from 1908 to 1949, along about 52 kilometers. The arrival at the Arc was the result of a link built in stages.
The station had functions beyond the shipment of passengers: the old warehouse of dispatches, today used for temporary exhibitions, also recalls the circulation of goods. Visiting the railway core allows you to look for these different lives of the same space: transporting people, receiving cargoes and preserving stories.
