La Pobla de Segur.

The Lleida – La Pobla de Segur line is a commuter/regional line operated by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) infrastructure, and administered by the Autoritat Territorial de la Mobilitat de l'Àrea de Lleida. Previously, the line was operated by RENFE, and was known as line Ca7, forming part of the Regional network. It was opened in 1951 in order to communicate Lleida, the capital of the province of the same name, with La Pobla de Segur, a town in the Pyrenees.

70% of its passengers are concentrated in the Lleida—Balaguer section, which constitutes a regular commuter service, and the possibility of converting it into a tram-like service has been considered by the Generalitat de Catalunya. The rest is basically a regional line with tourist use. Journey time for the whole line is 1 hour and 50 minutes.
