2021 is the European Year of Rail, an initiative from the European Commission as part of the EU’s efforts to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 under the European Green Deal. This initiative will highlight the benefits of rail as a sustainable, smart and safe means of transport.

As part of activities to put rail in the spotlight across the continent throughout 2021, Adif has begun the year with some spectacular footage of load testing on the Teixeiras (Ourense) double-track viaduct on the Madrid-Galicia high-speed line.
