Station layout
[edit]The station consists of an Iberian-gauge and a narrow-gauge section. Each section has two platforms served by two tracks
History
[edit]Compañía de Ferrocarril del Noroeste de España built Ablaña station in 1874 as part of the Pola de Lena-Gijón line that would be linked later with the section between Leon and Busdongo.[3] This station was a stop in services bound for León and Madrid.[4]
Sociedad General de Ferrocarriles Vasco Asturiana devised an extension of its railway, opened in 1904, that transported coal to the port of San Esteban in Pravia and the narrow-gauge section was added in 1906.[5]
In 1941, the new Francoist regime nationalised all the Iberian gauge railways in Spain and Norte's assets into the newly formed Renfe.[6]
In the late 50's, a hopper was built next to the Iberian-gauge section in order to transport coal from Nicolasa mine to El Batán, a coal washing site.[7]
In 1972, the ownership the narrow-gauge section was transferred to FEVE, a government-owned company established with the objective of operating all narrow-gauge railway lines within Spain.[8][9] In 2005, Adif became the owner of the infrastructure and the management of railway lines that were part of RENFE, which became a mere operator.[10] In a similar move, Adif took over the narrow-gauge section of this station in 2013 with the integration of Feve in Renfe and Adif.[11]
