The Maiorca halt was a railway halt of the shut down Ramal da Figueira da Foz, which served the town of Maiorca, Coimbra, Portugal, and closed in 2009.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]Inauguration
[edit]This interface is located on the section between Figueira da Foz and Vilar Formoso, which was inaugurated on 3 August 1882 by the Companhia dos Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses da Beira Alta.[4][5] The Maiorca halt was not among the stations and halts on the line at the time of its inauguration,[6] but this interface was created at a later date.
Closure
[edit]On 5 January 2009, the Figueira da Foz branch line was closed to rail traffic for alleged safety reasons.[7][8][9][10] Comboios de Portugal organised a replacement road service, which was completed on 1 January 2012.
As of 2023, the Maiorca halt shows visible signs of vandalism and some signs of structural decay.[11]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
