The former Malaga Suburban Railway terminus is located by the port which is off left of this view of the city-facing facade of the building. The statue on the left is in honour of Jose P Rizal a famous Philippino writer and Nationalist. The metre gauge line from Malaga port opened in the early 20th century to serve trains to Coin, Ventas de Zafarrya and Fuengirola. All but the coast line to Fuengirola closed in the 1960s. The port station closed completely when the Fuengirola route was rebuilt to Iberian gauge as the Cercanías Málaga in 1975 running from María Zambrano station and re-routed through Málaga Airport. The station building is now occupied by the International University of Andalusia. HWW to everyone. Have a great day

3 for the price of one! HFF, HBM & HWW.... The Leicester & Swannington Railway opened in July 1832 only 7 years after the Stockton & Darlington. It was not only the first public railway in the Midlands but also ranks as the 6th such undertaking in the country & the basis for the later, greater Midland Railway. The first train was actually driven by George Stephenson. It was initially built for freight, mainly coal, but at Leicester West Bridge a station was opened. The station closed to passengers as early as 1928 but the residents of Tudor Road in the background continued to enjoy the sounds of steam-hauled freight trains until1966. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.
