<p></p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""><span style=""color: #222222;"><span style=""font-size: medium;">The industrial society of Almeria in the 19th century made the construction of this <strong>possible. >iron, steel and concrete structure</strong> that had the objective of<strong>transporting cargo</strong> from the train station to the port of Almería,</strong> located one kilometer away, to facilitate the loading of materials inside the ships. This infrastructure was completed in the year 1904, it was in operation until 1973 and since 1998 it has been considered an Asset of Cultural Interest strong> due to its rarity and since this railway typology was not frequent, it is an exceptional place that followed. the modern guidelines of the <strong>Gustave Eiffel school.</strong></span></span></p> <p> </p>

<p></p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""><span style=""color: #222222;"><span style=""font-size: medium;">The first projects for the construction of this port infrastructure proposed a small ;or timber loading yard but in 1902 the <strong>Scottish company The Alquife Mines and Railways Company Limited</strong> began the work with 3824 tons of steel, 8000 m² of wood, 1152 m³ of concrete and a total of 1056 meters of railway tracks. We have to keep in mind that <strong>before the lifting of the ""English cable"" loading a ship with up to 8,000 tons</strong> was an arduous task that took eight or ten days.</strong > However, with the construction of this dock, this work was considerably reduced and the exported quantities could be increased. </span></span></p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""> </p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""><span style=""color: #222222;"><span style=""font-size: medium;">In December 2010, the program began. the <strong>rehabilitation and restoration</strong> of the old structure that consisted of in the sanitation and adaptation of the environment, the replacement of the metal parts in poor condition and the reinforcement of the beams, in a second phase work was done on in the installation of a new wooden floor, a new railing, an LED lighting system, as well as as an elevated pedestrian access through the Station park. <strong>In the future</strong> it is intended to enhance the monument and transform the loading dock into a <strong>cultural center</strong> for the use and enjoyment of all Almerians.</span></span> </p> <p> </p>
