Abstract:
The idea of linking France and Africa with a railway system that would go through Spain from North to South to form a possible connection with the Spanish and French protectorates in nothern Africa came to the mind of Spanish and French politicians of the 19th century. One of these projects was approved during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship (1926): a transversal line from Baeza (Jaén) up to Saint Girons in souther France that went through Jaén, Albacete, Valencia, Teruel and Lleida as an alternative to the system of the moment. This study focuses on the BaezaUtiel railway, which was the first line of this marcoproject and covered 370 km, with specia attention to the Valencian part (its 4th section) going from Albacete to Utiel.
