Final installment of a first trip to Portugal. After leaving Porto a trip on the Beira Baixa line, then more action around Barreiro before departure to Faro and home
1992 was the last year that CP was the only railway company,in 1993 EMEF was created to run the works and in 1997 REFER was created to run the infrastructure(tracks,bridges,signalling,stations...) Those were the days....
Probably the Sud Express (Lisbon to Paris as far as the Spanish border). PTG Tours operated several tours with 1961s. Indeed on one tour, with 1973 + 1965 double headed, I rode in the lead loco. Other cabrides in Portugal, include 1935 "Cidade do Bareirro" and 1805. Whilst cabrides have includes Canada, Hungary, Italy, Spain, France, Austria and Blighty. Not more than 300 cabrides !
