The line consists of 628 metres of mostly straight 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in)-gauge single track with pine sleepers. The only curves are at the passing loop in the middle, at Talavera station. Except for the lowest part the line rises at a constant grade of 1 in 5.06, through three tunnels and over three bridges.
