About event
** Exceptional excursion **!
The "granota" is a ** mythical train ** of the history of the Railroads of Catalonia and owes its name to the characteristic green color of its exterior.
Built in ** 1944 **, it circulated for decades in the lines of Sabadell and Terrassa until its abandonment and oblivion in the early nineties.
Now, the result of an enormous work of ** thorough restoration **, Railroils of the Generalitat, has scheduled exceptional special trips so that it can circulate again with this beautiful train.
We will return to ** Relocarril trips ** of decades ago: noise, windows, rattle, speed and seats of yesteryear.
