This railway spur was born out of the need to build the railway from Calahorra to Arnedillo or, more precisely, to transport the coal produced by the Préjano coalmines. Since the main line did not reach the mines but instead passed through Ariñano, some 5 km away, a narrow 60cm gauge mining railway was built to transport the coal to the metre gauge Calahorra railway.
