The matter has been declassified and was accessed this Wednesday by Maspalomas24H. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States spied for years on the diplomatic and military communications of more than 120 countries through encryption machines from a Swiss company, owned by the CIA and the German secret service agency BND. This is shown by the cables published this Tuesday by the independent NSA center. In one of those files there is one related to Maspalomas. It is the concern of diplomats about the launch of a train ending in Maspalomas. The Americans warned that the technology of this project was Spanish and that they might need partners in the United States.
On Wednesday, February 13, 1974 at 10:48 a.m. from the United States Embassy in Madrid, a report of almost 1.500 words was sent highlighting the "aggressiveness" with which the south of Gran Canaria would have a vertebrate system of trains. A project that will become a reality again in 2022 due to the interest of the Gran Canaria Council in launching a hydrogen train on the island. The text was addressed from Madrid with the label "business services, trade expansion and promotion" to the "Department of Commerce" to the attention of the "Secretary of Commerce", that is, to the one who had the rank of minister.
The document declassified by the CIA indicates with some alarmism that there are plans for "experimental vertebrate trains for private interests" between Las Palmas and Maspalomas. "The operators plan to extend the line to the airport of Gando and Maspalomas, a rapidly growing beach center and where the experimental part is expected to be in operation by April 1, 1975. The document mentions that the vertebrate train company " is aggressive" railway engineering company and "has already built prototypes of elevated vertebrate trains in Spain with its own designs" and "has had many contacts with train builders in the United States, including General Electric and Westinghouse" and adds that "its design vertebrate train has a great advantage over others in a highly competitive field since it is the only one commercially viable.
