Bobadilla Railway Station

Bobadilla railway station (known in Spanish as estación de Bobadilla), is a southern Spanish railway station located west of the village of Bobadilla, Malaga Province.

Bobadilla is on the Córdoba–Málaga railway line and developed into a railway junction in the 19th century. However, it has become less important following Spain's investment in AVE high-speed services.

History

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.

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.
