Latour-de-Carol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latour de Carol (Catalan: La Tor de Querol) is a village and commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales département in France, near the border with Spain and Andorra. The population in 1999 was 367.
[edit] Transportation
The village's train station is served by both RENFE (the Spanish state operator) and SNCF (the French state operator), as well as the local metre-gauge Yellow Train (Train Jaune/Tren Groc), and trains on the various lines run to Barcelona, Foix, Toulouse, and Villefranche-de-Conflent (Catalan: Vilafranca de Conflent). It is therefore unusual in being a "junction" for lines of three different gauges: metre gauge, the standard gauge of SNCF and the broad gauge (1668mm or 5 ft, 5½ in) of RENFE. The station is the closest railway station to Andorra.
