We left Viseu on a morning service formed of
one of the single-ended railcars (one is seen
above), and spent the day watching activities
at this busy junction. A number of locomotives
were in evidence here, of several types,
ranging from small 2-6-0Ts such as E96, seen on
the viaduct with a train for Aveiro to one of
the large 2-4-6-0Ts such as E210, seen leaving
with a freight.
Later in the afternoon, we left Sernada and travelled to Espinho,
a few miles south of Porto on the main line. This would be our
base for the next few days.
