This train is most probably coming from France.

It is breaking here in L'Arboc before Sant Vicens due to congestion ahead.

I'm still in Catalonia, Spain, and today, I will visit the freight line between Barcelona and Tarragona.

I'm visiting Sant Vicenç de Calders

In the summer, the freight traffic was split, taking the railway through Vilafranca eastbound, and through Vilanova westbound, so I missed some of the trains. So, let's see what is the situation today

At L'Arboç station, the high speed line is located just next to the Iberian gauge line

There were extensive upgrades recent years on this line, but it looks like everything is now completed

Among other upgrades, there is a preparation for dual gauge operation on this line.
