1969/11/03, 12. The late afternoon sun glints off the immaculate paintwork of Henschel Mallet 0-4-4-0T No. E169 as it gets its train away down the grade from Senhora da Hora station with a train returning to Porto Trindade. Senhora da Hora was the limit of Previous | Next1969/11/04, 01. The morning of Tuesday 4th November 1969 dawned with an autumnal mist which took some time to clear. In the gloom at Contumil depot to the north of Porto is dumped No. 211, a 4-6-0 4 cylinder compound built by Henschel in 1924. Strangely, I saw it again a year later at Pocinho, so was it returned to traffic? Behind the 4-6-0 is 0-6-2T No. 014 and behind that is 0-6-0 No. 23, both products of Beyer Peacock.
