Dual-gauge_track_Olmedo_1.jpg (50163 bytes)

Dual-gauge experimental track (Iberic: 1668mm-5ft6in; Standard: 1435mm-4ft8in) seen at Olmedo, on the Madrid-Valladolid/Medina del Campo forthcoming HSL.

This track actually uses the trackbed for the Olmedo-Medina del Campo branch, which itself re-uses the former Segovia-Medina line, closed down in 1988.

This gauge-changer was built in 2002 in an attempt to accommodate for both track-gauges at high speeds. This track has been cleared for 250kph, after extensive trials with the Talgo XXI Prototype.

LAV_Guardia_dels_Prats_1.jpg (39072 bytes)

Lerida-Barcelona HSL, seen from Interchange 9 (for Montblanc) on Motorway A2 (Barcelona-Zaragoza), looking towards Lerida.

While trackbed has already got some ballast and all catenary masts, tracklaying and wiring are halted until consolidation works in the tunnels of La Plana-Picamoixons are over, hopefully by the end of 2004.

This segment (Lerida-La Roda de Barra) is due for completion in 2005.

LAV_Lleida_1.jpg (44807 bytes)

This is west end of Lérida/LLeida, which one can see in the background.

Left: Iberic-gauge (1668mm-5ft6in) single track, with 3kV DC OHLE CR160, for the (Madrid)-Zaragoza-Lerida conventional line
Right: Standard-gauge (1435mm-4ft8in) single track, with 25kV-50Hz AC OHLE, for the Madrid-Lerida HSL.
While the HSL single-track currently accommodates the whole of high-speed services, only services calling at Lerida will actually use it in the near future. Once the HSL reaches the next stage, a by-pass running South of Lerida from Montagut to Puigverd will indeed accommodate nonstop services. Hence the choice for a single-track for this connection between Montagut and Lerida.

Such pattern is a mere smack of the Spanish Railway Network in the coming years: single-track conventional lines doubled with single-track HSLs...

LAV_Vinaixa_1.jpg (47229 bytes)

Lerida-Barcelona HSL, seen at Vinaixa. This segment (Lerida-La Roda de Barra) is due for completion by 2005.

At this place, the HSL leaves the Plateau of Aragon (which extends until Western Catalonia), and begins to go down towards the Coast.

This pic is looking towards the Coast. One can also guess the place where the HSL viaduct flies over Motorway A2 (Barcelona-Zaragoza). The (Madrid-) Lerida-Barcelona conventional line snakes in the foreground.

Vinaixa. 01st September 2004.

This is also 1 of the 2 portions anywhere North of Barcelona where top speed rises to 160km/h.
