RZD is to sign railway accord with Spain

Russian Railways (RTS: RZHD) (RZhD) is expected  to  sign a trilateral agreement with Spanish partners aimed at expanding cooperation on high-speed movement, management systems and hi-tech cooperation  within  the  framework  of  Russian  President  Dmitry Medvedev to Spain.

"In  particular  the  issue  is about automatic systems of changing track gauge," RZD President Vladimir Yakunin said.

The  Spanish side has experience of changing track gauge at a speed of up to  20  kilometers  per  hour,  which is interesting to Russia, he said. "Moreover,  we  are interested in management systems of high-speed movement," Yakunin added.

"The  Spanish  side  is  interested  in  the Russian market and the possibilities to work in winter conditions," he said.

"This  will  allow to expand cooperation with Spanish companies and to continue  our line at integrating Russian and European railroads," he concluded.
