Mallorca might not sound like a promising destination for a railway enthusiast but it’s home to two very different narrow-gauge railways, one of which is a real delight and the other an efficient but soulless modern railway. This report details brief visits to both lines during a week’s visit to the island in March 2013.

A short visit to the F.C. de Soller on the frozen Mediterranean island of Mallorca on Sunday 5 February 2012. This remarkable narrow gauge, electified line continues to operate its services using 1929 built, wooden bodied motor coaches and includes street running in downtown Palma.

The Albacete - Murcia - Cartagena line in south-eastern Spain is still worked by diesel locos including the last dedicated Talgo machines of class 354 and the new class 334s. There's some heavy freight to and from the industries at Escombreras as well. This wasn't the busiest line I've ever visited but splendid scenery and good light contributed to a successful trip.
