The Núria rack railway, after going through a spectacular route through the Pyrenees, is the only gateway to a magical valley that invites us to reflection and contemplation. Since ancient times, Núria has been a remote place, protected from invaders in the past and from the madding crowd in the present, only accessible on foot until 1931, when this spectacular train started circulating. This book describes and reviews the history and technical characteristics of the Ribes-Núria rack railway line.
