Portugal Train Trip
Author: atsffan

On 5/26, I posted a short summary of my Portugal trip: https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?17,4303071. Here's a set of photos taken along the way.
All taken with a Fuji X100T digital, fixed 23mm lens rangefinder camera. No post-processing.

#1 - One of Lisbon's ubiquitous trolleys.
#2 - Leaving from Lisbon's Oriente station to head south to Lagos. Beautiful platforms.
#3 - Changing trains in Tunes, (pronounced "Tunes", not "Tune Es") to head to Lagos.

At Lisbon we transferred to an almost new Alfa Pendulum trainset to head north to Porto. Wonderful ride, and as I mentioned before, great service with hot meals served at your seat.

#7 - Our Tunes - Lisbon train.
#8 - The Alfa Pendulum train in Porto.
#9 - The Sao Bento station in central Porto.

On the pronunciations, from the first post, I might also note that Lagos is not pronounced La-gos, but rather LAH-goosh.
