RENFE 318-012 Ourense 36724 110405_2
The blunt end of ex-RENFE 1812 (318-012), now preserved in superb condition, at Ourense on Monday 11th April 2005.
The ALCo DL500C (FPD-7) was powering the last day of a PTG tour of Northern Spain, working from Ourense to Ponferrada with English Electric 7722 (277-022) as power for the coaches and extra dead weight! Infrastructure 321-030 had worked the previous legs from Leon to Ferrol, A Caruna San Diego, Pontevedra, Vigo and onto Ourense. 7766 would then take over (dragging 321-030) for the run back to Leon.
Here's some audio of the beast leaving Monforte later that day: soundcloud.com/full-metal-racket/318-012-monforte-de-lemo...
