The old reliable

The Potash Train No. 53552 from Manresa Clasificación to Flix, sped through Vacarisas Apeadero on San Fermín's day, pulled by the pseudo-tandem of locomotives 269-352.

It was fortunate to see locomotives 269 in the UN livery clean at that time; few remained. The original catenary poles of the line, from the Cía. de Caminos de Hierro del Norte de España, are still visible.

Nearly 10 years later, I managed to photograph them with the then-new GoTransport livery.
