Currently, Carlo is quite satisfied with the pace of Spain's development.
By the end of 1870, the total length of Spain's railroads had nearly reached 6,000 kilometers.
And earlier this year, the total length of Spain's railroads had already surpassed 6,440 kilometers.
This also means that from late 1868 to early 1872, over three and a half years, Spain's total railroad mileage increased by over a thousand kilometers.
Although the average annual construction of railroads was only about 300 kilometers, it was already a significant progress for the Spanish Government.
After all, from the birth of the railway to late 1868, Spain's total railroad mileage was only about 5,400 kilometers.
The territory of Spain is not inferior in size to other European Powers (at home), and due to the scarcity of plains in the country, there is a greater need for railroads to enhance economic exchange between regions.
