#fotovorschlag 'Verbindungen'
Mitten in den Pyrenäen wurde auf 1184 m Höhe der Bahnhof Canfranc gebaut. Er liegt an der Bahnstrecke, die Spanien und Frankreich besser miteinander verbinden sollte. Aus verschiedenen Gründen funktionierte das nicht und das riesige Gebäude wurde ein Geisterbahnhof.
Inzwischen ist ein Luxushotel dort eingezogen.#canfranc #Pyrenäen #lostplaces #bahnhof #bahnverbindungen #falschplanung

NEXT, the Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (Time Projection Chamber), is a collaboration and a technology aimed at using a high-pressure gas as an observatory for the ultra-rare neutrinoless double beta decay phenomenon.
The collaboration has two new results from their experiment at the Canfranc underground lab in Spain.

The century-long saga of Europe's unluckiest train station.
Once hailed as the "Titanic of the Pyrenees", Canfranc International Station in northern Spain was plagued by disaster, derailment and decades of abandonment.
Now, almost 100 years after its grand opening, the Beaux-Arts giant has been reborn as a five-star hotel – and could soon welcome international trains again.

Needless to say the owner of #Transhumance Hotel (+Café - Restaurant) in #Bedous is a complete railway gaga.

#Bedous ! On y retrouve le chemin de fer ❤️ une vingtaine de personnes dans le train de 17:44 pour #Pau. Interconnexion bus-train assurée.
L'hôtel #Transhumance a l'air top, on vous en dira plus demain !

Bon, et comme nous avions réservé le spa pour 18h à l'hôtel Transhumance de #Bedous, on a dû sauter dans le bus. Donc quelques photos prises du bus entre #Urdos et Bedous.
La gare d'Etsaut abrite la maison du parc national. La gare de Lescun-Cette-Eygun est abandonnée.

Happy to confirm that there is indeed a #RailFreight activity in #Canfranc. First two pictures show a convoy that was not there yesterday (third picture).

Otherwise a cute discovery was the municipal pool of #Canfranc. Entry is 3.50€, you can order paella 🥘 and the locals play football next door. Sadly we came after closure.

#CanfrancEstación Inside the hotel is the restaurant El Internacional with more moderate prices, but still more expensive than surrounding restaurants that feel a bit more OG.

Back to the historical building of #CanfrancEstación - the hall has a nice atmosphere. The French and Spanish crest face each other. Underpasses are sadly closed. There are two carriages outside the station that host Michelin*/gourmet restaurants. I miss things like a historic timetable... Does anyone know where to find one?

To my great pleasure the entry of the #TunelDeSomport was accessible. It seems the area around was used for the recent modernization works and you can just walk in. I had never been so close to a tunnel entry. Caténaire midi still standing at its exit ...

The Iberian gauge tracks have been remodelled and also reach the #SilosDeCanfranc where occasional freight happens (loading french corn 🌽 on trains to Spain) - if someone can confirm this info?

#CanfrancEstación park presents various items, such as station gates, and coded messages to French officials are subtly passed on 😉 ¡Reapertura ya!

Back to #CanfrancEstación - the building looks now in very good condition, some would say it lacks a bit of patina ;) the surrounding tracks have been taken away and the area is now a park retracing the railway history. It attracts many visitors (on Aug 1st). All restaurants in town were full both for lunch and dinner. A fair amount of French tourists among them.

#ExpresoDeCanfranc seems like a good idea to attract tourists to the idea of getting to Canfranc by train. For the stretch between Zaragoza and Jaca, the bus is more competitive as it cuts through mountains on newly built highways where the train circles around them. But for the Jaca - Canfranc stretch, the train is more pleasant and probably faster. So it makes sense for day tourists to leave their car in Jaca and have a day-by-train experience in Canfranc.

Now to my big surprise there are - at least at the moment, which is peak summer season - three departures a day of the "Canfranc Express" operated/commercialised by #Alsa with historic cars from AZAFT | ASOCIACIÓN ZARAGOZANA DE AMIGOS DEL FERROCARRIL Y TRANVÍAS https://azaft.org (an expert source tells me).#Canfranc #Transpyrénéen #Pyrénées #Somport #TranspyrénéenOccidental

#CanfrancEstación - the one with trains - has been relocated behind the historical building in the area of the freight yard, close to the silos. The roof structure blends in with the surrounding buildings. There are - at least in summer - several tours a day about the history of the place.

... Has been converted into a five star hotel. I'm happy this saved the building from destruction. You're still allowed to *pass* through the lobby, and you can make reservations at the restaurants in and in front of the hotel. So it's a compromise I guess...
Here are some night shots. Hasta mañana.

#Villanua-Letranz is quasi unreachable from the village it's supposed to serve. So high up.
There's space for a passing loop though.
This was the last stop!

And now we climb up up up, last stretch to Canfranc!

From here it gets interesting... Big passenger exchange, both on and off. Train almost as full as before. We reverse. I'm now seated in the direction of travel 👌
Second picture is the branch off to #Canfranc, taken on the way into Huesca. Going via Huesca considerably extends the travel time. But I guess it's needed in terms of connectivity.
The gauge change facility looks unused and the track there is not electrified. Strange...

People are now standing. As the conductor passed to check the tickets, she confirmed everyone's destination. The large majority is going to #Canfranc! That makes me very happy. And I wonder if a third train would be a good idea?

Punctual departure and a 15min underground ride through the Zaragoza stations of #Portillo, Goya and #Miraflores. Out of the tunnel into the Ebro plain towards Huesca. UIC electrified single track next to us, used by (few) #AVE through services to #Huesca. The train is pretty full, about 40 people in my carriage, so maybe 80 in total.
