a) I couldn't find any information on Spanish freight trains, however, Spain is well known for its rail system, which spans over 9,194 miles.
b) The national railway is RENFE, with other major operators being FEVE, EuskoTren, FGC, and FGV. The high speed railways connect major cities, such as Madrid to Sevilla and Barcelona, and Córdoba to Málaga. There are also railways that connect Spain to France and Portugal.
c) There are two types of high capacity roads in Spain: the autopista and the autovía. Autopistas are intended solely for automobiles, so any vehicle that cannot maintain a speed of 37 mph is banned. Many are also toll roads. Autovías are never toll roads and are usually upgrades from older roads. Slower vehicles such as bicycles and agricultural machinery are permitted to travel on them.
