History

Lleida-La Pobla de Segur railway line goes back to the project of linking the city of Lleida with Saint Girons (France) through the Port de Salou.
This was inaugurated on February of 1924 but it was only built Lleida-Balaguer section. Years later and after the Civil War, Renfe continued the works in order to arrive in 1949 to Cellers, next year Tremp and finally on 1951 to La Pobla de Segur.
In spite of the real possibility to make the line arrive one more stretch until Sort, the cross-border project that had to reach Saint Girons (France) was discarded.
