Class 350 (350.002, ex-2T, "Virgen de Aranzazu"), seen at Bilbao-Abando, awaiting departure on Talgo 354 to Madrid-Chamartin... When Talgo II stock quit service in 1972, the 4 locos (1-4T) used hitherto with that fleet were re-formed into 2 pairs, and fitted with Scharffenberg couplers, so that they could haul the daily Talgo III service Madrid<->Bilbao on Miranda de Ebro-Bilbao. Their livery was also adapted to Talgo III standards. Those 2x2 locos had eventually gone in 1976, replaced with newly-delivered Class 269 (and TG1z-111 generators). Bilbao-Abando. August 1975.

Talgo II set of RENFE, hauled with a Class 350 Diesel loco (ex 1T to 4T), seen at Barcelona-Paseo de Gracia (now Passeig de Gracia). 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. This service must be the Barcelona Término (now Estaçió de França)-Madrid Atocha service, seen shortly after its departure, at around 01.30pm. At that time, this station was not fully covered, and enjoyed a welcome daylight. Photo by an unknown author (many thanks, though), from Tranvia.org and perolo.binario.trenes.

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). 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. This service must be the Barcelona Término-Madrid Atocha service, seen shortly after its departure, at around 01.30pm. 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.
