XTreme Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Out by 10 and back by 1........to visit the old Railway Station in Seron, Almeria!The line originally opened in 1894, and finally closed in 1984. And unlike many of these places, they've left a lot of the original elements in place including some of the tracks. You can also see where the locomotive turntable was, and some of the buildings have been restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 A British company actually built the line: http://www.gssr.es/index.phpAnd this is how it looked in 1904. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Or screeching Beeching. He destroyed the lot didn't he? Yeah he ruined the rail system. In the early 70's I used to ride the old paths on an XL125.It was great then.....the tracks had been taken up but everything else was it had been.You'd end up going through tunnels and little stations.Then they turned them all into country walks with no vehicle access.
