European Railroad Discussion > Along the Douro River in Portugal: Day ThreeDate: 06/10/26 12:10 Along the Douro River in Portugal: Day Three Author: NMlurker This was a travel day (from Regua to Porto) but I still had time to catch a few more trains before the scheduled 10:33 AM departure.
1. Two trainsets overnight in Regua. The early morning departure is already gone while this one will be my train. 2. A morning westbound from Pocinho arrives with an all-stainless consist. 3. The westbound waits on Track 1 for the arrival of an eastbound DMU on Track 3.    Date: 06/10/26 12:18 Re: Along the Douro River in Portugal: Day Three Author: NMlurker 4. Another of my favorite shots is this one of a morning eastbound with the blue heritage unit and a matched set of red and white carriages.
5. A final roster shot of the blue heritage unit. 6. With the eastbound out of the way, my train moves from Track 4 to Track 1 well in advance of its 10:33 AM scheduled departure. We always rode in one of the older red and white cars, never in one of the stainless cars.    Date: 06/10/26 12:28 Re: Along the Douro River in Portugal: Day Three Author: NMlurker 7. This shot is out of order, it is the earlier all-stainless train while it waited for the DMU set to arrive.
8. A roster shot of the 1400-class unit on my train. 9. The cabs are painted a chocolate brown while the CP lettering is black.    Date: 06/10/26 12:34 Re: Along the Douro River in Portugal: Day Three Author: NMlurker 10. On the trip to Porto we met an eastbound train at Ermida.
11. The other wet noodle: CP logo on one of the stainless passenger cars. 12. The other CP: I bet Canadian Pacific is kicking themselves for missing their opportunity at a wet noodle logo.    |
