Linha da Beira Baixa, originally called Caminho de Ferro da Beira Baixa, is a
railway line which connects the stations of
Entroncamento and
Guarda in
central Portugal. The first section, from
Abrantes to
Covilhã was opened on 6 September 1891. The line to Guarda was opened on 11 May 1893.[3] At the time, only the section from Abrantes to Guarda was considered to be part of Linha da Beira Baixa, while the route from Entroncamento to Abrantes belonged to the
Linha do Leste. Passenger service on the Guarda-Covilhã segment reopened on 2 May 2021 after it fell into disuse in 2009.[4]
