    The old Castell d'Aro station was part of the Carrilet route and was used to cross trains.
    It is highly recommended to make a stop to visit the interior of the station where the stationmaster's office and the wooden structure of the ticket office are still preserved today.

    The Carrilet locomotive, manufactured by Henschel & Sohn, was designed for the green line, its speed was 30-40 km/h, being ideal for the curves and gradients between Girona and Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Operational from 1892 to 1969.

    "SFG" symbology: The initials on the side, SFG, refer to "Sant Feliu de Guíxols", the final point of the route, where it is now displayed as a monument.
    Despite the years, this locomotive has been preserved as a tribute to the impact of the Carrilet in the region, highlighting the importance of the railway in economic and social development.
