The Renfe Class 310 is a class of 60 four axle Bo'Bo' diesel-electric locomotives for shunting and freight built by Meinfesa with General Motors Electromotive Division components (engine, electrical transmission).
In the mid-2000s 4 units were converted to a subclass 310.1; a push-pull container train with a 310 class locomotive at each end; the units later became the property of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) and became the 353 Series.
The Renfe 310 was ordered in the late 1980s as a replacement for the Renfe Class 307 and 308. The order was part of a modernisation of the diesel shunting fleet in the 1980s which also resulted in the Renfe Class 309 and 311. The 310 Class is a variant of the General Motors SW1001 switcher with a modified cab shape.
The locomotives were painted in the standard silver and red livery standard for Renfe shunting locomotives. [3]
As of 2010 the class are split between Adif and Renfe Mercancías. [3]
4 units have been converted to a formation known as "Medium Distance Teco" (TMD) [1] (Spanish: Teco de Media Distancia); this is a service intended to move containerised freight a distance between 120 and 300 km (75 and 186 mi), and compete with road transport. [note 1] Each train consists of 8 60 ft (18.29 m) wagons and a class 310 locomotive at either end, with a container capacity of 24 TEU. [4] The locomotives are connected by optical fibre. [2] The 310.1 locomotives received modified cabs, similar to the design of the rebuilt Renfe 333.3 subclass.
Later the two sets were sold to FGC and in 2009 began use transporting car parts to a SEAT factory. [5] Under FGC ownership the units became the class FGC 353.

The Class 340 of Renfe were a class of 4-axle diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Krauss-Maffei for the Spanish Railways. The design is similar in outward appearance and technology to the DB Class V 200. 32 units were built.
The Renfe Class 353, formerly known as the T-3000 are a class of diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Krauss-Maffei for express trains in Spain.
The Renfe Class 352 was a class of twin engined four axle diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Krauss-Maffei, designed solely for passenger traffic; in particular they were responsible for towing Andalusian Talgo III trains. The class were very successful, heralding a new era of passenger trains in Spain. They were delivered in 1964 and 1965, and were fully withdrawn during the 1990s.

The Série 1320 were a class of diesel locomotives used by Portuguese Railways (CP). All have now been withdrawn from service.
The Renfe 313 was a class of 6 axle mainline diesel-electric locomotives built for Renfe by Euskalduna under license from Alco. 50 units were built in the mid-1960s, locomotives surplus to Renfe's requirements were sold to Comboios de Portugal (CP), Trenes de Buenos Aires, Argentina, and to the railway company of Minero Siderúrgica de Ponferrada.
The Renfe Class 321 is a class of diesel-electric locomotives operated by Renfe in Spain, designed by Alco and built by them and by Euskalduna under licence.
