The Torrijos railway station is railway station owned by ADIF that serves the Spanish municipality of Torrijos, province of Toledo.

History

The 2-storey historicist station—built in granite and featuring round-arch windows and doors—[1] was inaugurated on 20 June 1876, by means of the opening of the 85.42 kilometre-long Madrid–Torrijos stretch of the Madrid–Extremadura line.[2][3] Soon after, the Torrijos–Talavera de la Reina stretch (48.76 km), was inaugurated on 13 July 1876.[2][3]

At 17:40 on 14 January 2019, a derailment (with no injuries) occurred 500 metres from the station.[4] According to Renfe, it was a case of sabotage.[4]
