Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca (Catalan pronunciation: [sərˈvəjs ˌfɛroviˈaɾiz ðə məˈʎɔrcə]) or SFM is a company which operates the metre gauge railway network on the Spanish island of Majorca. The total length, including Palma de Mallorca Metro, also operated by this company, is 85 km.
In 1977, the line Palma - Inca was the sole remnant of a network that once connected Palma with most of the island. In 2001, the section Inca - Sa Pobla reopened, followed by the section Inca - Sinéu in 2002 and Sinéu - Manacor in 2003.
The expected reopening of the branche from Sa Pobla to Alcudia in 2005 did yet not happen. The line from Manacor to Artá is currently under construction for a planned 2012 reopening.
Electrification
€30m was invested in electrifying the whole line, from Palma to Inca, at 1.5 kV DC, which was completed in 2011. CAF EMUs have been purchased.[2]
