The Ramal de Braga railway line was inaugurated in 1875 by King Luís I of Portugal and connects the city of Braga in the north of Portugal with the Linha do Minho via the Nine station . The route is approx. 15 km long and was electrified in 2004.

This rail connection connects the cities of Braga and Porto with Alfa Pendular trains and local transport. The suburban trains to Porto only take 45 minutes. The Alfa Pendular trains are used by CP on long-haul routes and are offered in a direct connection from Braga to Lisbon . Since the modernization of the rail connection, a maximum speed of 130 km / h can be driven here.
