RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted November 30, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2019 On Thursday we took the Slicante to Madrid high speed service and went past the Monforte depot.... it looks as if one of the 58s is being broken up.  The cab is intact on the ground, with parts strewn around.  The remaining locos (maybe 4) are further away in the depot area, which included the 2 that are heavily graffitied.  There are still 4 stabled at Albacete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 30, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2019 Is 58050 still in Spain? I understood as the very last locomotive built for/by British Rail it was earmarked for preservation and due to be returned home when it was no longer needed in Spain. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t like to say which locos are still here I’m afraid @PhilJ W I’m going to try and get over to Monforte to see if I can get some shots of them.  The depot at Albacete is not close to a road so won’t be possible.  In coming back from Madrid yesterday, I filmed us going past the Monforte site, although at @200km you don’t get to see much! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a cheap deal for the construction company, all laid up in sidings at the time and gave years of sterling service abroad! A waste as they could have done the same here in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium SimonT Posted September 19 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19 Went past the Albacete depot last week on a Madrid - Alicante train and there are four 58s still stored there. Believed to be 58025, 58027, 58041 and 58050. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
