Ablaña railway station

[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.

[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.
