Since the renovation in 1979 its electric supply is 48 KW direct current, coming from a solar power plant 0.5 km from the Sanctuary.

It consists of a single track, except from the central part, of approximately 20 metres, where it is doubled to allow the two carriages to pass each other.

It carries approximately 250,000 passengers per year, that is, an average of 685 per day.
