ZARAGOZA SPAIN, March 2026 — The ongoing efforts to consolidate rail freight development in Aragón are being bolstered by substantial infrastructure investments. This initiative aligns with Adif's Mercancías 30 program, designed to elevate the role of rail transport within integrated multimodal logistics chains.
Key actions include modernizing installations and extending parking lines to 750 meters at the Morés, Paracuellos-Sabiñán, and Épila stations. These improvements are fundamental to increasing the operational capacity and efficiency of the rail network.
These sidings extensions are integral to the development of the Algeciras-Zaragoza Rail Motorway, a project with an investment exceeding EUR 650 million. This initiative is vital for boosting rail transport on both the central branch of the Mediterranean Corridor and the Atlantic Corridor.
The project is set to significantly strengthen intermodal traffic flows between Europe and Morocco, contributing directly to the decarbonization and sustainability of transport. By shifting freight from road to rail, it aims to reduce operating costs and enhance overall efficiency and resilience.
This strategic development underscores the growing importance of rail infrastructure in achieving broader European transport objectives, promoting greener logistics, and fostering economic resilience across the Iberian Peninsula and beyond.
