Ferrão Douro Portugal October 1970 - a photo on Flickriver

Ferrão Douro Portugal October 1970

            Broad gauge CP steam-hauled trains plied up and down the Linha do Douro in northern Portugal as I worked by the river Douro near Pinhão. One day I took time off to follow one downstream through the beautiful olive and vine-clad valley to Regua. On this day it was an unidentified CP Henschel 4-6-0 on a 4 coach & a van passenger train. 

This was taken at Ferrão - the station building is far right. The river has been dammed since 1970 & today above the dam is a lake so the water level here is up to the line of bushes by the white structure, centre, which has had its roof removed.

Just in case you think that CP had very short sections on this line the two trains in view are actually the same one! I have combined two shots into a panorama. The left-hand image was posted yesterday and the right-hand is newly found.
