The Demetrio Ribes Chair of the Universitat de València starts the printing presses for a new newspaper. On 20 October the 'Gaceta Histórica de la Línea de Ferrocarril Valencia-Tarragona' will appear, an impartial repertoire of news on the projection and construction of said railway, important milestone of the engineering at the time and privileged ground of the Mediterranean Corridor.

The publication appears in the framework of a double commemoration: the declaration of the European Comission and the European Parliament of 2021 as 'Año Europeo del Ferrocarril' (European year of the railway), and the genesis of the railway line València-Tarragona. The licence of the line, the constructive process, the orographic challenges, the polemics on the route, the popular impression... This and more, through the original newa of that time. With photographies of that era!
