Stations and halts

All the stations on the line had the same architectural conception that gave them a certain coherence within the same style, despite being different buildings:

Gerona Station
Despite being a first-class station, it never ceased to be a provisional station and had complementary facilities. The project was to build a station like the one at Sant Feliu de Guíxols but economic reasons always postponed its construction.

La Creueta halt
The Creueta halt, located at kilometre 2,979, which has now disappears, was a very small building with a single entrance on each façade and a gable roof.

Llambilles halt
The Llambilles halt, located at kilometre 8.448 had only the general track and four buildings. The passenger building was practically identical to the one at La Crehueta, normally used by the attendant, and a 31 square metre annex building was used as a waiting room. The halt was completed with a small warehouse and toilets.

Llebrers halt
The Llebrers halt, located at kilometre point 10.770, did not have any buildings, only a platform on the left-hand side depending on the direction of travel from Gerona to Sant Feliu, and only had a signpost.

 

Cassà de la Selva station
A second category station, located at km. 13.142, it was larger because it had two service tracks on both sides of the main line. Each track was extended on one side to a molehill (the one closest to the station in the direction of San Felíu and the one furthest away in the direction of Gerona). In addition to the station with a four-pitched roof, it had a covered platform for track and works, a covered and an uncovered dock and the typical toilets of the line with a four-pitched roof.

Esclet halt
The Esclet halt was located at km. 16.480 of the line, had no buildings, only a platform on the right-hand side depending on the direction from Gerona to San Feliu and only had one signpost.

 

Llagostera station
Llagostera station was located at km. 20.756 of the line, had two passing tracks and two more for the covered dock on the San Feliu side. The building was practically identical to that of Cassà de la Selva as it was a second-class station. It was the station where the water was loaded into the locomotive tanks, so it had a water castle made of exposed brickwork on the opposite side of the quay. It also had a small turntable to introduce wagons onto a perpendicular track that went to the flour mill.

The passenger building was simple with a gable roof and 71 square metres. Away from the station building was the restaurant building, which was built by a private individual but shortly afterwards became the property of the company.
