Euskotren 3500 Series
The FEVE 3500 series is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Renfe Feve in Spain. The first units entered service in the Basque Country in 1977, these trains were later transferred to Euskotren, where they were known as the Euskotren 3500 series. Euskotren retired its last 3500 trains in 2013, but some units are still in service in Asturias.

Cantabria
Cantabria (, also , , Cantabrian: ) is an autonomous community in northern Spain with Santander as its capital city. It is called a ''comunidad histórica'', a historic community, in its current Statute of Autonomy. It is bordered on the east by the Basque autonomous community (province of Biscay), on the south by Castile and León ( provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos), on the west by the Principality of Asturias, and on the north by the Cantabrian Sea (Bay of Biscay). Cantabria belongs to ''Green Spain'', the name given to the strip of land between the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Mountains, so called because of its particularly lush vegetation, due to the wet and moderate oceanic climate. The climate is strongly influenced by Atlantic Ocean winds trapped by the mountains; the average annual precipitation is about . Cantabria has archaeological sites from the Upper Paleolithic period, although the first signs of human occupation date from the Lower Paleolithic. ...

Electric Multiple Units Of Spain
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. If the charge moves, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in carrying a unit of ...

That year, the government commissioned with the writing of the project for a railway between Gernika and Amorebieta, where it would link with the existing line. Already in the planning stages, an extension from Gernika to Bermeo was being considered. After several delays, the project was transferred to , who in 1885 received government approval for the construction of the railway. Works started that same year under the supervision of engineer .

San Sebastián Metro
Euskotren operates frequent commuter rail services in the city of San Sebastián and the surrounding Donostialdea area, in the Basque Country, Spain. The infrastructure is gradually being upgraded to rapid transit standards, in order to create the San Sebastián Metro ( es, Metro de San Sebastián, eu, Donostiako metroa). The line is commonly known as Topo (), due to the large number of tunnels present. As of 2021, the San Sebastián suburban rail services are branded as part of the Euskotren Trena network, with no separate identity. History The meter-gauge line opened on December 5, 1912 between San Sebastián with Irun. It was extended to Hendaye the following year. The network was subsequently owned by FEVE, the Spanish narrow-gauge railway company, until it was transferred to the Basque Government in the 1970s. In the early 1980s, it was integrated into ''EuskoTren'', along with other narrow-gauge lines in the Basque Country. Since the 2010s, the line has been gradual ...

Euskotren 300 Series
The Euskotren 300 series is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Euskotren in the Basque Country, Spain from 1990 to 2018. History The 12 trains were delivered to Euskotren in 1990. They were built by CAF, with the exception of the non-driving cars of the 308 to 312 units, which were built by Babcock & Wilcox. They substituted the 3500 series trains on the Topo line. Due to the number of tunnels on that line, the trains were equipped with an emergency exit on the front. Three of the trains (310, 311 and 312) were used on ''Euskopullman'' services. The ''Euskopullman'' was a limited express service that run from Bilbao to Hendaye from 1998 to 1999. The trains operating it had less seats, and they were fitted with tables and a bar. They were the only trains in Euskotren's fleet equipped with toilets until 2008, when some 200 series trains had toilets installed. After the opening of the Bilbao metro in 1995, 200 series trains were gradually introduced on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
