FGV - Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (Spain)
Line Alicante-Denia
Railway station Benidorm - can somebody help me with the more precise description of the
old-fashion trains? I've discovered the romantic corner by the way to "platje".

The
old fashioned train is probably the "Limon Express". In front of it one of the
two Diesel-electric locomotives wich are normally used for this train. (numbers 1030 &
1032). These locomotives are of the type Alsthom Model BB44t. I have two books in wich
these locomotives are mentioned. One gives 1958 as year of construction for both, the
other gives 1964/67. I don't know the truth, but totally 42 locomotives of this type were
delivered to the severall Spanish narrow gauge railways. They were constructed by Alsthom
as well as Spanish railway manufacturers.
