Within the general upgrade of the Langreo Railway, Adif has signed with the Enyse\/Telice joint venture, the contract for the Signalling and Telecommunication systems of the first section of the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main object of the project is to adapt the existing systems to the railway infrastructure enhancement \u2013 new EiSS23 electronic interlocking will be placed at Laviana, Sotrondio, El Entrego, Sama, La Felguera, Tuilla and Carbay\u00edn stations. Blocks will be controlled through Axle Counters \u2013 single track from the head at Laviana to Sama and double track thereon. Standard LED wayside signals will also be used, along with monitored point machines. The Level Crossings which remain after the infrastructure intervention will also be integrated, as well as the ASFA national ATP system. The line will be included in El Berr\u00f3n\u2019s CTC, paying special attention to its cybersecurity aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Telecoms side, a new FO cable will be laid in the new underpass, locating the centralized supervision equipment and telephones at Sama. For the radio system, a leaky feeder will cover the tunnel area, along an array of antennae and emitting stations. The project includes the supply of power for all systems above, new technical buildings in most of the stations and a Centralized Maintenance System at the CTC. Work will be carried out in phases, following the infrastructure developments \u2013 contingency plans are foreseen for eventual complications at the tunnel and other works along the railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Langreo Railway was the first industrial railway in the Iberian Peninsula, the second to run in Spain after the 1837 La Habana-G\u00fcines line. Built to carry the coal from the Nal\u00f3n coalfield to the harbour at Gij\u00f3n, its first section was commissioned in 1852. The railway\u2019s original design had a 1433 mm gauge, almost the UIC standard gauge, but was converted to metric gauge in the 1980\u2019s, following the line\u2019s integration in FEVE – the organization covering all meter-gauge lines in the Peninsula. The last coal load was dug in Nal\u00f3n\u2019s only open pit, Carrio, on December 31st<\/sup>, 2018. Nowadays the Langreo Railway provides commuter services between Laviana and Gij\u00f3n Sanz-Crespo stations. The service calls at the Mining Museum in El Entrego and at Sot\u00f3n Colliery, where visitors are welcome deep down inside a coal mine – of which, quoting historian Mr. Eric Hobsbawn, \u201cthe railway is the natural son<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Within the general upgrade of the Langreo Railway, Adif has signed with the Enyse\/Telice joint venture, the contract for the Signalling and Telecommunication systems of the first section of the line.
