On the left, AVE 102 004 set, on the way from the Talgo Factory in Ribavellosa (close to Miranda de Ebro) to the Talgo Workshops in Las Matas (Madrid), is stored on a siding in Fontioso, on the Burgos-Madrid "Directo" Line.
On the right, Talgo 201 Madrid-Hendaye/Bilbao, hauled with a Class 333 Diesel loco, passing the station at full speed.
While the former has just been built, the latter has been running since 1964 between Madrid and the Basque Country, being the oldest Talgo III service in Spain...
One can appreciate the difference between both generations. New RENFE vs. Old RENFE...
Fontioso. 04th March 2003.
