The C-7 is a line and rail service of Cercanías Madrid commuter rail network, operated by Renfe Operadora. It runs from Alcalá de Henares to Fuente de la Mora. It's composed of two sections: the western side is a loop around Madrid and its western suburbs, ending at Fuente de la Mora station, while the eastern side (from Atocha) runs to Alcalá de Henares.[1][2]

Infrastructure

Like the rest of Cercanías Madrid lines, the C-7 runs on the Iberian gauge mainline railway system, which is owned by Adif, an agency of the Spanish government. All of the railway lines carrying Rodalies de Catalunya services are electrified at 3,000 volts (V) direct current (DC) using overhead lines. The C-7 operates on a total line length of 71.6 kilometres (44.5 mi),[citation needed] which is entirely double-track. The trains on the line call at up to 24 stations, using the following railway lines, in order from west to east:[3]
