The Murcia–Almería high-speed rail line is an under-construction railway in the Region of Murcia and Andalusia in Spain.
Murcia and Almería were once linked by rail from Lorca to Guadix via Baza, however this line closed in 1985.
When the AVE high speed rail network opened in 1992, it continued to expand, with the Madrid–Levante high-speed rail network reaching Alicante railway station in 2013, and Murcia del Carmen railway station in 2022.
[3] A continuation from Murcia to Almería railway station was proposed, and construction of the new high-speed line began in 2010,[4] but was suspended due to political disagreements.
It will include two standard-gauge high-speed tracks for passenger trains with a maximum speed of 300 km/h (190 mph) and a parallel 1668 mm Iberian gauge track for freight.
