Cidad Calatayud-line, by Soria and Burgos was called Santander-Mediterranean. Sagunto wanted to join one of the main ports of the English east, with Santander, which was intended to be great Cantabrian port. In the absence of a tunnel in the province of Cantabria, the track was like an ass-de-sac, so traffic did not become the pursued. The blame for the termination was not 'merit' of the Basque oligarchy, which pressured the government to encourage investment in the port of Bilbao. Then came the war of 1936-39, and soon after, in 1941 RENFE concentration of Iberian gauge lines and the closure of the former Santander-Mediterranean González government January 1985 (God forgive him, because I can not).
Locomotives were responsible for traction, not to mention the maneuvers were these 140 Consolidation, manufactured by Babcock & Wilcox, of 18125 Kg of tensile stress, 1700 hp and 82100 kg of weight in service. The diameter of the drive wheels was 1560 mm, which shows that they were designed for mixed traffic of goods and passengers. Arriving at 140-2505 RENFE were numbered to 2526 (of origin were SM-101 to 122). Her service speed reaches 90 km / h and can tow loads up to 500 tons at 40 km / h on the steepest ramp of the track, nothing more and nothing less than 20 mil.
Today there is none, because in 1967 he proceeded to the dismantling of the entire series.
Who knows if the bleeding after high-speed Railways again see trains running through the route of the SM, taking over from these
Consolidation ...
