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.

You can stop for a while and admire the old locomotive and take a ride in a miniature recreation.
