OpenRailwayMap/Tagging in Spain

Tracks

General

General tags in Spain are:

• railway=rail

Milestones

The following tags might be sufficient:

• railway=milestone
• railway:position=* VALUE in km, decimals separated with "."

Track gauge

Spain and the iberian peninsula has traditionally used Iberian gauge (Ancho ibérico) (1668mm)

• gauge=1668

But since the 1990s new railways have been laid out that use the standard (1435mm) that are mainly used for high speed lines. Some metro and tram also use it.

• gauge=1435

In some parts of the country the local railway uses narrow gauge(Ancho métrico)

• gauge=1000

Electrification systems

The following electrification systems are used in Spain:

Non-electrified

• electrified=no

Iberian gauge

• electrified=contact_line
• voltage=3000
• frequency=0

Standard gauge in ADIF high speed lines

• electrified=contact_line
• voltage=25000
• frequency=50

Train protection

With manual train protection

• railway:atc=no
• railway:etcs=no

With Spanish ASFA (Anuncio de Señales y Frenado Automático)

• railway:assfa=yes

With ETCS

• railway:etcs=2
• railway:etcs=3

Signalling

General tags

These tags should be on every signal:

• railway=signal
• railway:signal:direction=(forward/backward) according to the direction of the way
• railway:signal:position=(left/right) according to the direction of the way
• railway:position:exact=365.913 where 365.913 is an example

Main signals

Main signals exist with two aspects (from top: green, red) or three aspects (from top: green, red, yellow)

• railway:signal:main=(ES:main)
• railway:signal:main:form=light
• railway:signal:main:function=(exit/block/entry/intermediate)
