The Presidential Train_Hasselblad

A Rolling Royal Feast in Portugal: The Presidential Train.

 

Built in 1890 as the Royal Train for King Dom Luis I, it hosted heads of state like Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Paul VI. After Portugal became a republic in the early 20th century, it was renamed the Presidential Train and hosted global dignitaries until its last ride, for the funeral of dictator António de Oliveira Salazar in 1970.
