The Algeicras-Bobadilla railway was built by the Algeciras Gibraltar Railway Company , the first section of track was laid on 1 September 1888. The first locomotive was built by Beyer, Peacock & Company in Manchester , England. A 1st class return ticket from Gibraltar to Ronda was set at 17.10 Pesetas .[1]
History [ edit ]
The Algeciras-Bobadilla railway was built for the benefit of British officers stationed in Gibraltar wanting to travel to Spain and the rest of Europe.[2] Bay of Gibraltar , rather than at the Gibraltar border. Despite it having no direct connection to the European railway network at the time, a chapter was devoted to Gibraltar in the 1913 guidebook.[3]
So impressed were the inhabitants of Algeciras that they named two streets after people related to the project: one after John Morrison a Scottish engineer ("Juan Morrison"), and one after Alexander Henderson , who had funded the project.[4]
Current situation [ edit ]
In 2019 Spanish government progressed plans to renovate the ageing infrastructure of the line at an estimated cost of €159 million.[5]
