We start and end at Contumil, the
broad gauge shed for Porto. The
diminutive 002 is seen in steam,
acting as shed pilot, and an
assortment of 2-6-4 and 2-8-4Ts
stand around the turntable. 2-8-0 no 710 is seen in
Contumil station.
We took a ride up the broad gauge
line to Nine, where 2-6-4Ts 080 and
095 are seen in action on modern-
looking passenger stock.
Returning to Contumil, No 710 is
seen again on freight, and 2-8-4T 0181 climbs the bank
towards the station.
