Siemens Mobility to improve the rail connection between Extremadura and Andalucía

Key Visual Digitalisierung Schienenverkehr

Siemens Rail Automation, in a joint venture with FCC Industrial and Infraestructuras Energéticas, will carry out the removal of the telephone blockade between Zafra, Badajoz and Los Rosales, Sevilla. This implies the implementation of a Single-Track Automatic Blocking between Cazalla, Seville and Los Rosales and a Single-Track Automatic Release Blocking between Cazalla and Zafra.

 Specifically, Siemens Rail Automation will renew the existing interlockings on the route (not including the stations of Zafra and Los Rosales), the supply and installation of some on-site elements such as axle counters, LED signals with their respective ASFA Digital beacons, drives, among others.

This project, valued at more than 24 M€, has an execution period of 22 months and will mean a qualitative leap in the improvement of the traffic control, the reliability of the facilities and, in general, the quality of the service.
