The railway is operated by the Club d'Enginyeria Ferroviària de Sabadell (CEMFES), a non-profit association of railway enthusiasts.
The tracks utilize dual gauges, 5-inch and 7.25-inch, allowing the operation of different scales of miniature locomotives.
The site features complex miniature civil engineering, including custom-built bridges and tunnel portals.
The facility acts as an educational hub for railway signalling and operational protocols on a small scale.
The track layout includes a balloon loop, a common feature in full-scale rail yards for turning locomotives.
Tren del Parc Catalunya is a miniature railway system located within the expansive Parc Catalunya in Sabadell, managed by the CEMFES association. The railway features a network of tracks totaling over 300 meters, including both 5-inch and 7.25-inch gauge rails that allow for a variety of miniature locomotive models. Visitors can ride as passengers on miniature trains that traverse tunnels, bridges, and station areas designed to mimic real-world rail operations. The infrastructure is maintained by local hobbyists dedicated to railway engineering and history. It serves as a focal point for families and railway enthusiasts in the Barcelona metropolitan area. The facility includes a dedicated station platform and a signal control area to manage traffic safely during operation. The layout is integrated into the hilly landscape of the park, requiring technical solutions to handle varying track gradients.
The elevated bridge section provides a clear view of the miniature trains as they emerge from the track tunnel.
