The narrow-gauge railway linking with Sant Feliu de Guixols Gerona opened in 1892 and worked as a line of passengers and freight until 1969. Its construction was due more to the business of Sant Feliu and Baix Emporda, they needed a means to transport their goods, especially manufactured and Llagostera Cassà cork coming out of the sea in Sant Feliu or Iberian gauge track in Girona, where it ended the carrilet. Also used to transport goods from the port of Sant Feliu inwards. When starting to take a tourism boom in later renamed the Costa Brava, passengers using the train began to move to La Font Picant, where it spent time at the spa, and the beaches of Sant Pol and Platja d ' Aro.

This was the first train that used a narrow track on the peninsula, using the track gauge of 750 mm, Its speed was very limited and life of the whole region surrounding the railroad was the slow pace of it. He lived its golden age in the years from 1918 to the 1929 crisis, but what was killing the Spanish strategic railways was the lack of resources to modernize the railway lines so punished. The advent of road transport, especially the car, dropped gradually passenger traffic, reaching historic lows in 1963, which happened to survive the state, and was part of FEVE. To make it compatible with the Olot-Gerona, track metrics, we studied widen the road to carrilet to make it compatible. Eventually, after several difficulties and lack of foresight, made the carrilet was closed permanently in 1969.

In this final section, some England fans who sensed that could disappear soon steam traction began a journey across Spain photographing the "modus vivendi" of the lines of the time, and so could attest to her life. On this page you will see those "SFG", but I recommend visiting the website of the group 30,937 for fun with other rail companies already closed. Therefore we can say that the legacy of these photographers is a good historical memory.

Without the invaluable aid of the Association of Friends of the Railroad in the counties of Girona, and its president, Ignasi Griñón could not collect on this website photographs and contributions from anyone who might know the "SFG".

I also make special mention to the Municipal Archives of Sant Feliu de Guixols that allowed me to obtain documents and old photographs of the railway.

The purpose of this page is dar a comprehensive information what was the train Sant Feliu in Girona, past and future of trazado and rail in the area.
