Spanish diesel locomotive class
Not to be confused with the 21st-century Talgo 350.
The Renfe Class 350 is a series of four single-cabin diesel locomotives that were delivered to Spain in 1950 for use with Talgo II coaches, being built in the United States by the American Car & Foundry to a distinctly American external style.
Operations
The locomotives worked passenger services with Talgo II coaches in red lined silver Talgo II livery, starting in 1950 between Madrid and Hendaye and ending in 1972 with trains between Madrid and Palencia.
Rear of 350–003 in later Talgo III livery carried from 1972 to 1976
When the Talgo II coaches were withdrawn the locomotives were formed into two pairs, and worked Talgo III services between Madrid and Bilbao on the Miranda de Ebro-Bilbao until 1976 when that service was taken over by Renfe Class 269 locomotives.
Fleet details
Like all Talgo locomotives, the Class 350 received names.
