«Catalan-Talgo» (Renfe Talgo III RD) in 1991, view out of the open door back along the train while it rolls slowly through the gauge changing assembly. Another nice reference for rivet-counters. ;)

«Catalan-Talgo» (Renfe Talgo III RD) in 1991, being pushed through the gauge changing facility in Port Bou. As this train has no door blocking, it is possible to watch the gauge changing process from an open door. The broken sign "Limite de Renfe" on the right warns the driver that it's not a good idea to proceed with a wide gauge locomotive. After a brief stop, a SNCF locomotive pulls the train out on the other side.

Talgo III RD - Catalan Talgo Barcelona - Montpellier. December 09 History on wheels... Outside view of the Catalan Talgo train, the last 3rd generation Talgo train on service and probably the last surviving original ex-TEE train after 40 years of international connections. Smooth ride, specially on the French side, but it seems that Renfe is not taking pride in keeping the train in proper conditions, specially on the outside. The two white shapes are the old logo of 'Grandes Lineas Renfe'.

Talgo III RD - Catalan Talgo Barcelona - Montpellier. December 09 History on wheels... Almost everything remains the same as day one. The indicator doesn't show all the stops on the French side, and neither shows the two stops on both sides of the border.

Talgo III RD - Catalan Talgo Barcelona - Montpellier. December 09 Second class interior. These seats were added in the 80s when the train wasn't TEE anymore and so it didn't have to be 1st class only. The seats are the same as in Talgo 4 sets, but in brown. Other than that, the decoration is exactly the same, and there's lots of legroom.

2nd class interior of the Talgo III RD (Catalan-Talgo). This train was originally 1st class only; some cars have been rebuilt into 2nd class with more seats, but still keeping the old-fashioned brownish colours.
