Bobadilla railway station (known in Spanish as estación de Bobadilla), is a southern Spanish railway station located west of the village of Bobadilla, Province of Málaga.
The station opened in 1865. Later in the 19th century, Bobadilla developed into a railway junction on the Córdoba–Málaga railway line with branch lines to Granada and Algeciras. However, it has become less important following Spain's investment in AVE high-speed services. Much of the long-distance traffic has shifted to the Madrid–Málaga high-speed rail line which opened in 2013.
History
[edit]A branch line to Granada was built in the 1870s.
In 1891 the Algeciras-Bobadilla railway line was built to Algeciras from Bobadilla by the Algeciras Gibraltar Railway Company.[2]
On 30 March 1950, a mail train from Madrid to Málaga derailed on a set of points in Bobadilla station, killing 8 people and injuring 30.
