Just visible in the right background is No. 012, a broad gauge 0-6-2T built by Hannoverische in 1902. Unfortunately, this was out of use! Friday 7th November 1969.

Henschel Mallet 2-4-6-0T No. E216 comes across the viaduct over the Douro with a Sabor line train from Duas Igrejas - Miranda to Pocinho. This was the only steam-hauled working of the day, the rest of the sparse service being operated by rail-buses. This train also included a postal coach and connected with the broad gauge train from Barca d'Alva to Porto. Friday 7th November 1969. Sadly, the Sabor line is now closed and derelict.
