Constitution of a European axis, which will
facilitate the traffic of passenger trains at 200 kilometres per hour,
and of goods trains at 140 kilometres, with bend radii of over 1,200
metres and slopes of under 20 per thousand. The route would be
Zaragoza-Huesca-Ossun, through the valleys of Gallego and Gave de Pau.
It will also mean, bearing in mind the geographical situation of the
Aragonese capital, that Zaragoza will act as multimodal platform for
exchanges between the Iberian Peninsula and the North of Europe.
To achieve this, the construction of 200 kilometres
of new railway tracks is foreseen, part of which can use existing
stretches of tracks; a low altitude tunnel of 39 kilometres long in the
centre of the Pyrenean mountain range, and another of 10 kilometres
under the Caballero mountain range. |
