SEVILLA C2 - LINE AUTHOR: REDACCIÓN PHOTOS: ADIF
Since last February 20 is in service the new commuter line C2 of the nucleus of Seville. After completion of the work carried out by ADIF, during last December, could serve this new commuter line, which actually is the branch that once lay for service to the Universal Exposition in Seville . During the Fair, to the platforms of the station of La Cartuja both trains came as the brand-new AVE 100 series. After the exposure, the line was abandoned and left to move the train, suffering a pronounced decline in facilities. After adaptation reconverisón and commuter line, all the way is equipped with two-way banalized, from Santa Justa, to La Cartuja. Where the route is 12 km. The works undertaken have affected 7.2 km of track, with an investment of more than 52 million Euros. With this new infrastructure is expected to serve about 45,000 potential users, with an estimated frequency of 60 minutes between each train, with 15 services each way and each day. 4

For two days members of the APPFI, aided by competent technical workshops ARMF, staff Rail- Renault M 9304. road Museum in Madrid and the invaluable help of members, always willing, the working group “1ª Zonaa (1 st Area)” from the Madrid Association of Friends of Railroad, performed the review, lubrication and preparation of vehicles to be transported by rail to Mora la Nova in the coming days. On day 28 the work of material movement began at about 5 am. Aided by towers of lights powered by generators, proceeded to open the door leading to the platform outside the museum where the material was parked. The first problem they encountered with the technical was surprised to see how the access door opened inward, which would be impossible prevent the platform.

FGC FREIGHT FGC 255.01 locomotive at the head of a train SEAT. FGC
AUTHOR: MIKE BENT
The
main FGC traffic comes from the transport potash and salt from the mines near Súria and Sallent, operated by the Iberpotash company, a subsidiary of Belgium’s Solvay. The branch that gives access to these mines, has no catenary. Large quantities of potash and salt is exported around the world through Barcelona. The saline waste disposal is one of the main environmental problems resulting from mining, which employs a workforce of around 1,000 people. The residue of potash washes Súria finds a use in PVC Solvay factory located in Martorell. But not all transport in FGC depends of Iberpotash. Now they have added new freight traffic of the automotive industry in the Barcelona area. Martorell is home to a car assembly factory of SEAT, while below, in the Zona Franca de Llobregat Valley and along the 10
Port of Barcelona, there are factories producing automotive components for SEAT and VW. In 2005 began the transfer of traffic between the various plants, and the usual congestion of highways in the area of Barcelona. Between Martorell and Sant Boi freight rates fit a pattern of intensive use by line, electric trains that leave from Baix Llobregat to the Catalan capital and vice versa, using cadences of four or five minutes at peak times. Autometro, independent company created in November 2006 to manage the service began operations on January 18, 2008. A new branch was to be built to serve the factory at a cost of 3.71 billion euros, while a new section of the meter-gauge line, at a cost of 800,000 euros, was necessary in this complex.
The load of the 411 meters trains were 171 cars Seat Altea. In 2008 it conducted 394 trains (equivalent to 18,000 trucks that transport the cars). In July 2008 he moved by 8.466 vehicles on board of 59 Autometro trains, and the outlook seemed positive. Cargometro arises to transport the components of cars to the north from the factories in the Free Trade Zone bound Martorell. The idea was born in 2004, was forged after the initial agreement signed on June 3, 2008. Just two days after the consortium of FGC (51%), Renfe Operadora (25%) and Comsa Rail Transport (24%) signed a working agreement for an initial period of ten years. They made a commitment to move 1 million m3 per year of components to the valley of Llobregat and fulfill the production rate of 400,000 vehicles per year vehicles.

This agreement would move 24,192 containers per year, with an overall of 1,344 trains per year, using six pairs of trains per day between the complexes of SEAT. The number of heavy vehicle movements by road equivalent to 32,000 units. Initially planned to use the meter-gauge line of FGC, but would involve costly problems of access within the Free Trade Zone. Therefore take into consideration the participation of RENFE, using the new facilities of the port dual width from Castellbisball. 960,000 euros were invested in the installation of new tracks in the Free Trade Zone and 3.9 million euros in the construction of an access ramp 1,668 mm wide (including a small tunnel) and deviations in SEAT’s Martorell complex . The first train circulated on January 18, 2008, and in February 2009 there had been carrying
49 service parts for 8466 vehicles. It was shown that the service Cargometro was meeting expectations.The traction used in Cargometro services is intriguing, and with a little history behind it. In 2002 RENFE workshops of Los Prados, near Malaga, with the support of the workshops of Valladolid, modified diesel locomotives 310.016 and 031. These units were subjected to a rigorous review of Valladolid in workshops to later create a “multiple unit charge” based on the prototype DB CargoSprinter, eliminating the need for investment in each of locomotives traveling. Both locomotives were rebuilt to be uni-directional, redesigning booths and hoods and inserting new electrical and pneumatic equipment. After the changes, the locomotives became the 310.016 310.076, while 310,031 became 310,075.
Between the two machines fall eight MMC type wagons 60 feet built in the Higuerón, Córdoba. These platforms are fitted with a fiber optic cable, which connects the two locomotives, allowing multiple machines circulate in multiple command. The whole composition, consisting of ten vehicles has a length of 185.42 m and allows a payload of 720 tonnes with a maximum speed of 110 km / h. This train was used to move the trash at Taboadela, southeast of Ourense, to the thermal power station Meirama, near La Coruña, for the first time on October 29, 2003. With a train consisting of locomotive 310 060 (later renumbered as 310,104) and 310,028 (then 310,103), entering service in spring 2005. At the same time became unit in the new 310.101 310.075, while 319,076 became 310,102. At the same time the unit 310.101 became in the new 310.075, while 319,076 became as 310,102. 11

However, no dynamic brake, the train loads were a number of problems in long descents, and this was the reason why the service was withdrawn shortly afterwards. The remaining four machines were purchased by FGC. Cargometro activity commenced in July 2009 with the first wave of the recession in full swing, car production at a low point, and therefore with three pairs of trains a day instead of six. Cargometro trains are composed of nine Mmc3e type carriages 60 feet container, allowing containers to transport 18 30-foot, the length setting 12
is 205 m, and because it lowers idle the Llobregat valley, slopes favorable, braking performance is not a concern. The locomotives have been renumbered as number 353, from 01 to 04, and are based on the deposit of Can Tunis, but also keep their numbers RENFE (310.101104, respectively). The drivers are supplied by RENFE. 2011 was a very encouraging for the freight operations of FGC, despite the continuing recession. The results are summarized in the table appended to this article. If all cargo carried on FGC in 2010, let alone 2011, has been charged in heavy
trucks, is estimated to extend a line between Barcelona and Paris. A small diesel fleet and outdated, is increasingly common in the transportation of goods through the meter-gauge system FGC. There are five locomotives series 251, running Bo’Bo, built between 1954 and 1965 by Alsthom (Tarbes), under license from Babcock & Wilcox, Euskalduna, and General Electric Spain. Two of them modernized in 2007. There are also three locomotives running of the series 154, Co’Co ‘, built by Macosa (Valencia, now Vossloh Spain) and Mein-
fesa in 1990. These locomotives are similar in design to the RENFE class 319 diesel. With branches Súria port, Sallent and Barcelona without electricity, and the main line through the valley of Llobregat, Martorell and Manresa for crossing the branch at the port of Sant Boi with 1,500 V DC catenary, this was clearly the terrain on which to electro-diesel traction. FGC looked to the northwest of Spain in search of a solution to their small motor park. In 2001, the Basque Government estimated that freight traffic on the network EuskoTren twelve times increase in the coming years, and in 2006 ordered at Ingeteam in Zamudio, a batch of 12 locomotives class electro-diesel TD 2000, similar to the 1900 FEVE Series. These new locomotives, worth 37.5 million euros, it could circulate in the network of FEVE. However, the expected load increase did not materialize and in the spring of 2011 eight of the machines were still languishing in the warehouse of Durango.
Two years earlier, had begun negotiations to rent two locomotives 2000 TD to FGC for their transport of goods. In the summer of 2009, the newly named DT 2003 “Urumea” was sent to Catalonia, after passing through Madrid, where he received additional ballast increasing source to 62 tons 80 tons. EuskoKargo red livery remained, and after extensive testing in early January 2012, received the new number 255.01 on the sides of its body, and the logo of FGC. It is currently rented by FGC unit has an option to buy. Apparently, there were proposals to hire a second TD 2000. On February 2, 2011 the locomotive TD 2004 “Arratia,” which had been renamed “Llobregat”, returned to his Basque topographic name. 255.01 The engine is used primarily in long trains of cars Autometro, and made his commercial debut trip on January 17, 2012. FGC also decided to get his own access license. A subsi-
diary, FGC Mobilitat, was created for it, and since July 30, 2009 has had a license to operate goods throughout the network of ADIF, although operator RENFE train drivers, as no case was requested certificate safety. The operator probably will choose Catalan gauge locomotives of 1.435 mm, considering recent proposals for the installation of a third track (1,435 mm) in the branch Súria, and Renfe line between Martorell and the area of port of Tarragona (and within the latter), to boost freight traffic in the northern end of Mediterranean Corridor. “

ORENSE-SANTIAGO Part (I)
AUTHOR: CARLOS P. FONTANA
On December 10 opened the new high speed line Ourense-Santiago and electrification of the La Coru単a Santiago, included in the high-speed connection of Galicia with the Highland
CONSTRUCTION
TThe
platform works began back in 2004 but took until 2011 for finalization. This long period of construction is justified by the relief part of the route, with lots of viaducts and tunnels and on the other hand, by locking in the beginning of one of the sections for three years until July 2008, specifically affecting to Serrabal quartz mine, near the river Ulla. This block was due to a long process of litigation between the Ministry of Works and the concessionaire of the mine, belonging to a business group led by former minister Villar Mir, which meant a change in the path or exorbitant compensation, thing that finally did not happen. View of the Ulla viaduct area. It shows one of the artificial tunnels constructed to protect the line of mine blasting Sarrabal you see in the background.
ACTUALIDAD
Paradoxically, the next sector and its construction was awarded to a construction company headed by Villar Mir himself. Also at the time of the Minister Magdalena Alvarez is a very remarkable slowed or even halted the tenders for the HSL to Galicia. In June 2010, the Ministry of Public Works made a key decision that makes this line unique and different from other HSL lines built to date in Spain, as well as affecting its approach and its long-term future: the assembly pathway national in width instead of wide UIC as it was designed. Apparently, the arguments for this decision included the further economic, as it prevents the construction of two separate changers wide at the ends of the line, and facilities with deSigns of the type used in high-speed lines mounted for testing in Lalin.
viations are reduced to a single PB (controled post) in Or Irixo, disappearing other PB and PAET (since overtaking and parking of trains) of Lalin (having completed this platform for sidings and even the platforms). Another argument was to keep a stretch of wide UIC isolated from the rest of this wide network, forcing the material always use variable width. The intention is that when it comes to the HSL Orense from Olmedo, this section is changed in width, but do not know what it will cost this intervention and how it affects the commercial service and whether the units are mounted with diversions now removed. Despite all the way is mounted and all-purpose cross-track equipment (expansion devices and needles) of HSL itself is ready for change in width. Download rails between tunnels Outeiro and Abeleda.

The line was built with speed settings to 350km / h, speed can not be achieved until it is changed the gauge. The track assembly was awarded in two different sections: from Orense to O Irixio accesses to the company COMSA, and from O Irixo accesses to Santiago to “Ute montaje de vía Irixo-Santiago”, formed by COPASA and CONVENSA. The entrances to the extreme stations fell in COPASA. The first train with rails was discharged in December 2010, ending the connection with the ends of the line in October 2011.
The electrification of the entire line was executed by the company ELECNOR and safety facilities (interlocks, signaling, ERTMS, falling objects detectors,
hot box detectors, etc.) for the “UTE Ourense-Santiago AVE”, led by Dimetronic and Thales companies.

DESCRIPTION OF THE LINE The kilometer 0 is at the center of the passenger building Orense- Empalme Station, with common output with the conventional line Santiago ZamoraLa Coruña. From km 1 in the bifurcation of Coto da Torre begins the LAV itself and it begins to gain height significantly compared to the conventional. Upon exiting the first tunnel (Formigueiro) is the neutral zone transition 25000V 3000V DC to AC, between 3.300 and 3.400 Pk. Shortly after the tunnel to find Burata, which at 4,081 m is the longest line. A one kilometer lies one of the two existing substations (Amoeiro) 2x25000V delivering 50Hz to the catenary. Following a succession of tunnels and viaducts (which are of Arenteiro with 1.444my the second
longest), PB is reached in O Irixo Pk 28. This installation consists only of five turnouts that allow access to the base assembly / maintenance from track 2 and one each leakage between the tracks 1 and 2. These deviations allow the passage of trains to 300km / h by direct route and 60km / h for deviant, with Moving Hearts and the singula-
rity of allowing the change of 1.668mm to 1.435mm width, feature that makes them unique in the whole network. From this point until we have access to a stretch of Santiago 55 km away with no possibility of change or a train track.

Fervenza viaduct (also called Deza 2) of 1.176m has the characteristics of having ogee curve and alignment, is in the Pk 55.160. The second substation line (Silleda) is located in the PK 58 in the mouth of the tunnel Carboeiro.

The viaduct Ulla in 70.100 Pk, is the most singular of all the line, for his great bow, and being the highest viaduct in all high-speed lines in Europe. A 500m of this begins the false tunnel built to protect the line of blasting Serrabal mine, closed only 2/3 of his vault, which is continuous together three tunnels with a total length of nearly four miles. Within walking distance is the Saramo viaduct, with its 1.485m is the longest of the entire line. The next viaduct in Pk O is 82.200 Eixo with 1.225m, which runs through a va-
lley, and within the municipality of Compostela. Passing through the Marrozos tunnel come to the area of access to Santiago, where he begins to circulate in parallel with the conventional line 800 meters to a turnouts group called bifurcation A Grandeira between 84.800 and 85.800 Pk, communicating with track 1 and track 2 with together the conventional line . From this point to Santiago all trains on the conventional line, they have to by the track 2 of the HSL in both directions.

The lack of space to mount a third track led to the conversion of this section of the conventional line line in one of the HSL, which is also in the future, when changing the width, will create a problem, which may be remedied with a stretch three lanes. The latest turnout in this cluster achieves the track 2 of the by-pass on single track to the south Atlantic Axis, and will allow future services in Madrid-Vigo used this line without having to enter Santiago to reverse the direction of travel. In between these deviations is the fake Combarro tunnel of 547m, built to bury a section in trench. From the two-way Pk 86.500 Atlantic Axis accompanies the HSL to the station in Santiago Pk 88.400. In this last part is where he introduced another of the technical difficulties of the line, and that was the “straining� track 1 between the piers of a viaduct. Santiago station has been transformed, with the electrification of all its tracks interns, and extending the platform third, which is where trains arrive HSL. This required the release of the previous track 5. This new line cuts the journey between Orense and Santiago in 38Km front of the conventional line. As significant data on the scope of the work emphasized that has 30 tunnels totaling 28.9 km and 35% of the length of the line, and 38 viaducts, of which six exceed the length of one kilometer and several approximate at this distance, totaling 19.6 km and 22.5% of the total. 22

platform, by a marquee closed by front and lateral sides and open at its rear. At the same time, the machines equipped with individual bunkers on the wing tanks, right in front of the marquee, a view to increasing the operational autonomy of the machine. As interesting fact and differentiating with other machines, the wheels of the central axis were not equipped flange, being
totally smooth. The reason was to facilitate the circulation by tight bends in shops, ports and zones section. In NORTE the locomotives were enrolled in the range 601 to 605, which later became 1601 to 1605, within the same company. After passing a series formed RENFE 030-0203 to 0300207. Originally all were named with rivers in the Leon zone. 030-0203 EL AGUEDA 030-0204 EL TERA 030-0205 EL CĂšA 030-0206 EL SELMO 030-0207 EL BURBIA
In his time working in NORTE, always provided service stations in its line of origin, except for a short period in 1888, when the locomotive 601 (EL AGUEDA), 602 (EL TERA) and 604 (EL SELMO) were outstanding for three months at Pajares line, in order to move in double drive trains on that line during the time it took to rebuild the bridge Matarredonda, located at km. 62 of of the line Leon to Gijon, in 1888 (now non-existent, and in 1957 was replaced by an embankment), which had been destroyed by an avalanche. The work of the locomotives was the trains moving side to side of the bridge using a provi-
sional line lying in the side saved the bridge, which was the provisional route used in the grading of the previous work of trucks used in construction of the line. Undoubtedly the short draw and no tab on its central axis the allowed travel on sharp curves of this provisional route, delivering cuts of wagons to locomotives line on each side of the work. Due to the progressive increase in weight to be hauled maneuver, these machines were replaced in the early twentieth century by more powerful locomotives, being then transferred to NORTE to Valencia and Tarragona, where he

served maneuvering in the ports of both cities. This way to Valencia for the locomotives was EL AGUEDA, EL CĂšA and EL SELMO, and Tarragona were destined EL TERA and EL BURBIA. By the time of RENFE, the locomotive 030-0204 EL TERA, shopped at Tarragona, was renamed like TARRACO, and was painted in an unusual dark green with red threaded. Thus, it was (and still is) the only steam locomotive RENFE maneuvers, painted in that color. This locomotive is also equipped the vacuum brake device, the only locomotive of the series to equip this type of brake. Among the services effected 030-0204 locomotive,

Also in times of RENFE, the locomotive was highlighted EL BURBIA 030-0207 for maneuvering in the station Vilanova, in a period from the late forties and early fifties, returning later to Tarragona. Valencia locomotives were withdrawn from service in 1962, except 030-0203 EL AGUEDA which was sent to the general workshops for major repairs of Barcelona Sant Andreu, where he finished his service in the sixties. Meanwhile the two locomotives of Tarragona, also provided service until the mid-sixties, they were also withdrawn

We are facing a formidable locomotive, able to satisfy the most demanding of fans and useful in both models, set in small stations and branch lines, or destine for maneuvering in large facilities and yards tracks. The load of coal can be decorated with true coal dust supplied with the model. In the photos below can be seen under the marquee and details on the front of the locomotive.
It is this image and the one that opens this article we can clearly see the central wheel, which has no flange, which favors the passage through tight curves, as happened in the real model.

The locomotive El Águeda has a dirty finish, very realistic like its been in daily use.
Under the reference 41030 is offered the locomotive 0300204 “Tarraco”, formerly “El Tera”, reproduced in its use for the 50 to 60 of the last century. It has a decoration in dark green and red thread. The capital of the chimney made of brass. The reference 41031, 0300203 reproduces the locomotive “El Agueda”, decorated in black with red fronts, as their status in the 50’s, with a subtle effect patina that mimics with great success and use regular dirt these machines. The rods, wheels and lower parts have lost their luster and are slightly soiled. By contrast the top is cleaner, where the couple driving was used more in-depth cleaning. This excellent level of detail, well done and well treated, we consider a realism previously unknown in business models. 38
The reference model represents 41032 030-0205 “El Cua ‘, decorated in black and red fronts unreformed, as was in the 50’s. Both the bodywork and chassis are made of metal, which provides additional quality to the model, while successful weight gives it a very important role in the adhesion necessary for the movement of wagons, as well as uptake current routes to reliably and continuously. While the model has a high level of detail, much of this level is placed in the system fully functional reproduction of rods, such as “Stephenson” made with a precision and an exceptional finish. In the mechanical section the locomotive has a powerful motor assisted by a flywheel. The traction is transmitted to all three axes, the first of them is equipped with a tilt system, which allows vertical displacement relative to the rail, conversely for each wheel of the shaft, ensuring excellent making contact at all times, the second axis has a vertical suspension system suitable for the passage through ramps, hump type,

The conversion to a AC system is done quickly and easily, using optional skate that features the brand and the manipulation of a small switch located under the engine that allows you to select the type of power. Along with this we find a similar switch that gives us a pleasant surprise: Change the lighting system of the engine consists of three lamps in front and two rear, with the option of white and red lights, according to the direction of travel , a lighting maneuvers, fixed at both ends, as with the right focus in purple and white left on each side of the locomotive.
