            Canfranc Estacion / Gare de Canfranc / Canfranc station

After 50 years of construction work the international railway line between Zaragossa (Spain) and Pau (France) was finally opened in 1928.
Although the line was expected to be of great importance it never fulfilled its high expections. Due to a spectaculair derailment in 1970 the French part of the line from Oloron to Canfranc was temporarily closed, a situation which lasts until this day. The Spanish part of the line has always stayed in service, for passenger as well as goods traffic.

The station building itself is of gigantic proportions, with a length of 240 meters. Restoration work is underway, but a lot more has to be done. The abondoned standard gauge French tracks are still visible in some places, despite the fact that nature is reclaiming the terrain. Rusting catenary adds an extra flavour to the overall picture of desolation.

Recently new activity is taking place. The best examples of the largely abondoned collection of railway vehicles of the railway museum of Zaragossa have been concentrated in the old engine shed. A branch department of the museum will be open to the public in the future.
