Ramal de Cáceres is a closed Portuguese railway line which connected Torre das Vargens railway station, on the Linha do Leste, and Marvão-Beirã railway station, near to the border with Spain. It was completed on 15 October 1879, but was only opened on 6 June 1880.[1] From 1881, the line was used as a faster alternative for international travelers between Portugal and Spain compared to the Linha do Leste, due to a better connection to the Spanish network.[2] It was closed by REFER on 15 August 2012.[3]
