Montmeló Temporary Station

While the new underground station of Montmeló was being constructed, the line was redirected to the platform of the Barcelona - French Border High-Speed Line, and a temporary station was built to serve the municipality.

The Butane No. 83856 from Montornés to Tarragona rushes by with a Traxx locomotive with barely a year of service behind it. Interestingly, in the numbering, one can observe the number 253-046-6. This locomotive circulated for two years with the wrong check digit, as the correct numbering is 253-046-7.

In contrast, the veteran 470-035, at the time of the snapshot, the lowest in the series circulating in Catalonia, is serving Regional No. 15812 from Cerbère to Barcelona Sants.
