1969/11/02, 3. The metre gauge lines north of Porto started from the terminal station at Porto Trindade, however, the original terminus was at Porto Boa Vista. In railway terms, this was very well named as there were indeed some beautiful sights to behold! At the loco servicing depot there Henschel Mallet 0-4-4-0T No. E170 (the "E" prefix denoted a narrow gauge engine) positively gleams in the late afternoon sunshine after attention from her driver. At this time engines were still "single-manned" - allocated to one crew - and great pride was taken in the engines' appearance. Sunday 2nd November 1969.
