Urdos - Station
A railway line, connecting France and Spain was discussed already mid 19th century. After the construction of a tunnel, the line was opened in 1928, but was never really sucessful.
On a frosty morning in March 1970 a heavy freight train was approaching Urdos, when, due to a brake failure, the train derailed and destroyed the Pont de l‘Estanguet, 3kms south of Accous. The bridge never got rebuilt, the railway line was never used again - and the station is out of service ever since.
