Does anyone have any information on the new high-speed line being built between Madrid & Barcelona? Are there any web-sites about this project? Does anyone have any photos of the construction?

While visiting London in May, I picked up a copy of the May 2001 Modern Railways. According to a short article on the line, top speed will be 350 km/h (210 mph) with service provided by 16 ICE 3 trains from Siemens and 16 Talgo 350 trains from Talgo/Antranz. AVE units from Alstom, in use on the Madrid-Seville line, will not be a part of the order for the Madrid-Barcelona line. Delivery of the trainsets is scheduled for 2004. The ICE trainsets will seat 404 with the Talgos seating 318. The only photo in the article was of the Madrid-Seville line. Modern Railways does have a small web site, but only with subscription information - no photos.
