Infrastructure

edit

Like the rest of Cercanías Madrid lines, the C-7 runs on the Iberian gauge mainline railway system, which is owned by Adif, an agency of the Spanish government. All of the railway lines carrying Rodalies de Catalunya services are electrified at 3,000 volts (V) direct current (DC) using overhead lines. The C-7 operates on a total line length of 71.6 kilometres (44.5 mi),[citation needed] which is entirely double-track. The trains on the line call at up to 24 stations, using the following railway lines, in order from west to east:[3]
