Summary

An analysis is made of the origin and characteristics of the production of railway equipment in the Basque Country. This study highlights how after the World War local manufacturers could take on the production of locomotives with more and more autonomy in the early twenties. The new electrical equipment required a greater technical effort and, for this reason, such production was linked to the presence of foreign firms such as those from Switzerland.
