Rush, into the lands of the magical, canyons, this, dense forests, and beautiful, bridges so. Get ready to be amazed and fascinated as, our wonderful, journey begins. The. History of train zone takes us back to the early 20th, century when, in 1903. Construction. Of the first stretch connecting, with ranch the confront come on Louie started. And by 1910, was finished, the. Extension, to adorn the corral was, inaugurated in, 1927. Thus. Forming, 22, stations in total. This. Remarkable, success 3 kilometres long line was, built using the most innovative technology, for that time and required. Building, 650. Engineering, masterpieces. Including. 19, tunnels, for, viaducts. And 2 major bridges, the. Aim of the line was to connect the small isolated villages. Of the high Cerdan valley to. The coast and it was the only available option at the time and was, very important, for the economy. We're taking turns on today. We're excited. Now. We are departing, from the international, station laterally, Cairo in weight that, holds Spanish, and French railways. And has, one of the longest coward, dogs in Europe and, we're.

The train enters the first tunnel bloody Laura which, is known to be the longest tunnel of the line 380. Meters. We're, approaching the villager for straighted between the Spanish borders bounded, by Posada and Vivian clave. Initially. The mission of train John was, not only transporting. The passengers, but also the goods before. The railway was inaugurated only. The stagecoaches had traveled, twice a day the, chaotic and exhausting, journey which, would take on average seven hours so. It had a very positive impact on the life of the region. Until. The progressive, closure of the iron mines of - plant the, or lignite, phosphate, as well as building materials, like granite slate, and marble were, regularly, loaded, in Villefranche sardinia, and john said it is, also served for agricultural, needs transporting. Wood animal, cattle but, this traffic will unfortunately gradually. Decline in favour of road transport and, in. 1974. The freight wagons, were definitely, withdrawn. Nowadays. The railway is mainly a tourist attraction that, contributes, to the prestige, of the national rail heritage, and is, a candidate, for the UNESCO World Heritage of, Humanity. Another. Interest in fact about the line is that, it is so steep that if it had been built even 15 years earlier, it would have had to be built using the rack and pinion system, but, during construction the, concept of the multiple unit was becoming established where. Instead of having one powerful locomotive. At the front the, electric motors are spread along the whole length of the Train it. Was previously used in the paris metro and Metropolitan Railway in, London. The. Vegas incite our consult in their original state except. The small details that were renovated, for the greater comfort, of the passengers each. Wagon offers, visitors, 40 seats consisting. Of cars type MIDI and type north during, the summer season the yellow train has opened wagons which we highly recommend to take as it will allow you to fully immerse yourself, in the magical atmosphere, of Pyrenees.

Take the train wave is it approaches, and buy your ticket on board from the conductor, we, should also tell when you want to get off. The. Whole trip will take you around two and a half hours. In. 2004. To model panoramic, rail cars of 90, seats were required these. Trains are integrated, into the rolling stock alternating. With historic, cars the. Total fleet leaders made up of 14 cars including. Five open wagons and two modern ones. In. Our time the train traffic is under the responsibility, of a so called line leader, installed. In via France who has a radio connection with a trained mechanic also. The computer system allows to permanently, visualize, the position, of the Train and to, manage all the necessary operations. Today, the snow is easily cleaned by the snow plows but. 100, years ago there, were people equipped, with their showers, who made sure that the line was clean it was very common back then to see an announcement in a local newspaper stating, the hiring of the laborers for this task. In. The meantime we're, getting close to the phenomenal station where, the world's largest oil furnace, an important, Research Center is located also. It is a big ski resort and starting point for many great hikes. And shortly. After forum L we, get to the highest railway, station. In France worker. Which, lays and. 1593. Metres. And now. We reach the middle point of our journey, Manu, la cabaña station aside, where you can visit the fortified, citadel, of Manu II and, one with the first solar furnace, in the world built, in 1949. Precursor. Of the soul on audio. Soon. After Lehman we the train goes through the beautiful viaduct, la cabanas with, its seven arches. Now. We are approaching the engineering, masterpiece and first, major bridge that, holds the breath away when you are seen it bulges Clark. This. Historical, monument was built between 1905. And 1909. And it, was the first metal rail bridge in France it. Was designed and developed by the genius, Albertus, Clark head, of the National order of engineers. 873. Tonnes of Steel launched, 80 metres above the bed of the tete wake Pontius Clark and one in a card model that looks very elegant and weightless it, almost floats in the air. It. Was a true technical revolution at, that time the. Bridge represents, a rigid in the formal system that, still allows the metal to expand, according, to the voltage supported, the. Construction was carried out under conditions, that were particularly, difficult, mostly. To the lack of space on the beds. Another. Curious fact about the importance of the trains in general is that, our present concept of time all smudge, to the development, of the railways before. The 1840s. Every town had its own time zone, Oxford's. Clocks for example were always said behind London's. You. Couldn't drop a meaningful railway, timetable, under those conditions, thus. The dependable, rail fog became, an important feature in our daily lives. We're. Passing by the station, pompidou's where, you can find the natural springs of warm waters, Bertha, st. Thomas. Far.

Meters, it, consists, of the two floors and has 16, semicircular, arches, of different, width and height but, that gives this bridge and airy feel as if it was made of beautiful lace. You. May have asked yourself why, would the train need to cross the ballet twice, well. The studies had shown the, real necessity of it in order, to avoid unstable, ground downstream. For pond patrols and around moccasin and because. Of the studies will, now have two magnificent constructions. To admire. Now. We're going through the Gurkhas de la Carranza, with the synchronistic, lips hanging bridges and breathtaking news.

As We, already know the, train is powered by electricity at eight hundred fifty volts direct, current, supplied. By a third trail it. Was a daring, and innovative, choice at the time when, the steam was still in full swing. It. Was decided to build a hydroelectric complex, on the river Ted consistent. Of the lake Pooh used stem and nine power plants, water. From the valleys is routed to the production sites by large pipes which can be seen from the train itself each. Power car has four motors producing, 300, horsepower per, car. Overall. In the building of the line took parts thousands, of men including. Multitude, of tradesmen, stonemasons. Miners, diggers, laborers. And engineers, thus, making it a real human epopee. Close, to our final, destination of the train reaches its maximum speed 55, km/h. While. Its average speed throughout the journey its reticulum, to sprout. We're slowly arriving, at our final destination via. France to confirm where. All the trans shipments, were paired out during. The establishment of, the line and where all the warehouses and, workshops are, situated, also.
