1969/11/08, 01. Henschel 1924 built 4 cylinder compound 4-6-2 CP No. 553 rushes down the grade near Rio Tinto with the 08:55 train from Braga to Porto on the very dull morning of Saturday 8th November 1969. Apologies for the poor quality of this photo - this was the only time I saw one of these engines in action!Previous | Next1969/11/08, 03. Preserved in the old engine shed at Braga were two ancient engines. This one is CPMD No. 02049, a 2-2-2ST built by Fairbairn in 1854. The engines have now been moved to Entroncamento Works, I believe. Note it was not considered necessary to keep the shed locked! Saturday 8th November 1969.
