Today, I'm going from Lleida to Zaragoza
Even though it was Monday, I could only see freight trains once I reached Zaragoza. Maybe there is no traffic on Monday mornings, or this railway is closed for maintenance - I don't know
Tamarite-Altorricón station ahead
The line has a single track, but together with the main line Barcelona-Madrid that runs a little more south, there is a double capacity
Monzón Castle further ahead
Monzon-Rio Cinca station
A friendly station guard told me that there had not been any trains here today, which probably says something about that the frequency is low today
The station cat is saying hello
Colonia Felina is a hotel for cats
I think it is same cat I just saw
Monzon Castle was built during the tenth century under Muslim rule; Aragonese forces captured the castle in 1089 when it was conquered by Sancho Ramírez. In 1143, the castle passed to the Templars, who added walls, towers, stables, a dining hall, and dormitories. King James I of Aragon lived in the fort under Templar protection during childhood. (Wikipedia)
Near Monzon is the Selgua station
I'm heading to Zaragoza now
Sariñena
Looks like there are some maintenance after all
The traffic here is not very frequent
Now I'm at the main railway between Madrid and Barcelona
Fuentes de Ebro station
Not much better here
Cats are trying to survive in the heat
Casetas station near Zaragoza
Casetas has two railways: Barcelona-Madrid and Casetas-Bilbao
Let's see
Freight train arriving from Madrid
This is a former Takargo Euro4000, now repainted in Captrain livery
6004
335 010, Transfesa
On the way to Castejon
The IC3 train from Denmark has some relatives around the world
Renfe Class 593 was manufactured by CAF under license from ABB Scandia
Time for some refreshments and some ice
Nearby the supermarket is the station Utebo. The gates are open, so no need to pay unless actually traveling
Euro 6000, aka Eurodual is making entrance.
This locomotive is actually manufactured in Spain since Stadler purchased the Vossloh factory in Valencia in 2015
259 009 is new, it is manufactured in 2022
Continental Rail is one of top 5 rail freight companies in Spain
This one is probably heading to Barcelona
Renfe S120 Alvia is heading to Bilbao
Renfe S448, Regional Express
More freight

Traxx F140 DC with 3kV and Iberian gauge. There are 100 units of these in Spain, almost all belongs to Renfe
Refrigerated containers from Maersk - can be suitable in the heat
6004 is already back, so I assumed it did not go all the way to Barcelona, only to Zaragoza
Another Continental Rail, this time arriving from Bilbao direction

Here in Casetas, there are 11 tracks
253 009
Freight train with E-Semat Auto wagons
