ADIF has awarded Inse Rail the supervision of the works to modernize the signaling, energy and communications installations in a 96-kilometer stretch, from the Madrid-Burgos line to the Prado Marina de Aranda de Duero industrial park, with an expected completion period of 18 months.
This action will improve the connection of freight train traffic in this section and, will also incorporate advances in railway operation, increasing the capacity and reliability of the line and improving the regularity of train traffic.
The main actions that will be carried out include:
- Replacement of the electrical interlocking of Aranda de Duero with an electronic one.
- Upgrading the Burgos interlocking.
- Replacement of the signals installed on the track with LED signals with their respective ASFA Digital beacons.
- Installation of new train detection equipment (axle counters) and new turnout motors.
- Establishment of a Single-Track Automatic Release Block throughout the project section.
- Integration of the new interlocking functions in the Miranda de Ebro Centralized Traffic Control (CTC).
- Installation of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in the interlocking signaling equipment.

The enabling of Single-Track Automatic Blocking in all sections and the installation of electronic interlocks in the entire section will increase the adaptability in the case of future modifications.
