La Cobertoria train station
The La Cobertoria Station is a historic train station of the municipality of Lena in the autonomous region of Asturias in northern Spain .
The station is located at 104.7 km on a hill of 648 meters on the Iberian mountain railway line between Venta de Baños and Gijón .
The station was opened on May 15, 1881 and, in addition to passenger traffic, was also the loading station of the mining railway company Grupo Cobertoria , which operated a narrow-gauge railway with a gauge of 600 mm from the mine to the loading platform at the station.
Today the station is managed by the Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias under the code 15121. The single-track, electrified long-distance route belongs to Línea C-1 ( Cercanías Asturias ). The narrow-gauge tracks of the mine train are no longer available. The station has been operated by RENFE since 1941 and connects the town with the cities of León , Oviedo and Gijón . The train frequency today is between one and three trains a day.
In 2004 the historic building, which was built in the pre-Romanesque style by the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles de Asturias in the mid-1880s, was extensively renovated and declared a monument.
