La única unidad del S-443, automotor eléctrico de cuatro coches y pendulación activa capaz de alcanzar los 180 kilómetros por hora, se pudre en una vía muerta de la estación de Castejón de Ebro. #SilentSunday

Does this count as an entry in the #MisreplacedAccessChamberCovers ledger? They had two possibilities but chose the middle way.
A round access chamber cover with a thick white line crossing it. The cover has been painted twice, one line older than the other. It has been placed back in position so as to line up roughly halfway between the two lines.

Heading by #Interrail to #TramEM in Warsaw on Saturday 19th September. First leg: let's see if we can experience a service between Barcelona and Cerbère that works as planned. This is my fifth attempt this year and we're off to an auspicious start with the train leaving Sants Estació on time.
A screen indicates that we are on Rodalies Line 11, destined for Cerbère.
