It was created in 2005 upon the split of the former Spanish National Railway Network (RENFE) into the Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias (ADIF), which inherited the infrastructure, and Renfe-Operadora, which inherited the railway service.

Separate logos used by the other sectors were also replaced, but the old Renfe logo remains in use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
