Old Railway Bridge

The Carrilet was inaugurated on June 29, 1892. The line had two first category stations, Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Girona, two second category stations belonging to Cassà de la Selva and Llagostera, three third category stations, Quart, Santa Cristina d'Aro and Castell d'Aro and the stops located in the neighbourhoods of La Creueta in Girona, Solivella and La Font Picant.

The demand for this railway line was quite high, so there were two other stopping points without platforms serving the neighbourhoods of L'Esclet and Llebrers, as well as the S'Agaró halt. In addition, a total of nine bridges were built, five of which of any meaningful length.

This bridge is located before the railway line arrives at the municipality of Llagostera and crosses the Banyaloques stream. It is composed of a metal deck of full-bore beams, supported on the abutments and a central pillar, also made of metal. Afterwards, the route continues through an open plain surrounded by crops before reaching the town. In 1947 and 1951, subsidies were requested due to lack of liquidity and the reduction of rail traffic due to the rise of new roads. After passing into state hands and continuing to accumulate losses, the line would be closed in 1969.

Nevertheless, it was possible to safeguard much of the rolling stock that belonged to the Carrilet, such as several locomotives, some boxcars and passenger cars corresponding to the first period of the railway line.
