| Lecture Summary |

Since the first steam locomotive inaugurated in Spain almost 200 years ago, the railways have evolved and have changed its geography, society, economy and the way of travelling for its citizens.
In 1941 all the private railway companies were nationalized in one state-owned company called, Red Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Españoles (RENFE). In 2005, more than 60 years later, and in compliance with the European regulations on rail transport, RENFE has to be divided in two companies: Renfe Operadora, which operates freight and passenger trains, and ADIF, the Infrastructure Manager.
The Spanish Railways have a very complex system with more than 15,000 km of rail network in service, including three different gauges: standard gauge (1.435 mm); Iberian gauge (1.668 mm) and the metre gauge (1.000 mm); different platform heights, supply voltage and signaling systems. Another characteristic is its orography, the second most difficult in the world, after Switzerland.
Since the 80´s, Spanish railways are committed to developing high-speed trains over 200 km/h on those lines with the most traffic and in 1992, inaugurates the first HS train (AVE), reaching 300 km/h. from Madrid to Seville, for the celebration of the World Exposition. Since then, the length of high-speed rail network in service has increased until 3,000 km. in service and another 1,000 km under construction; Spain is the second country in the world, with more high-speed lines after China.
The railway has become the means of inter-urban transport, which is faster, the most punctual and the most comfortable over long-distances. The passengers share the idea that transport in the future has to be sustainable, efficient and safe. In addition, this is the railway role from now to the future; improve the environmental and social situation of transport.
The Spanish railway companies are developing projects on five continents due to its international presence and leadership in design, manufacture and maintenance of the long-distance rolling stock, building stations, improving signaling, security systems and successfully managing high-speed challenges around the world. Some projects such as Haramain, the first high speed train in the dessert connecting La Meca and Medina (Saudi Arabia); high-speed in California (USA); HS2 in United Kingdom or the Virgin Hyperloop One that will develop and manufacture the commercial prototypes in Spain. |
