Talgo II set of RENFE, hauled with a Class 350 Diesel loco (ex 1T to 4T) "Virgen de Begona", seen in Barcelona, close to the Plaza de las Glorias (Now Plaça Glories) on the chord between Barcelona-Término (now Estaçió de França) and Barcelona-Paseo de Gracia (now Passeig de Gracia).
<p>
This pic was taken at some time between January 1959 and August 1964, when a Talgo II set served Barcelona, to/from Madrid (3-weekly), running in the afternoon and the evening.
<p>
This service must be the Barcelona Término-Madrid Atocha service, seen shortly after its departure, at around 01.30pm.
<p>
This area is now fully built, and tracks were covered in the late-80s, in the frame of the remodelling of rail infrastructure for the Olympics'92.
