A story of a voyage, of a train and of an incredible lucky break.
Every story has a beginning and this one starts on a sunny Sunday morning in Porto.
My wife and I, we only wanted to walk a little bit around. Therefore we were dressed, therefore I only had two films with me. (and because of the sunny morning only low ones)
Our luck led us to the old railway station. And there we met, we saw the Presidential. A train full of history, a train created for kings, presidents and popes. (But more about that later)
I took some photos, I spoke with some of the crew and I got to know the founder and executive curater of that museum trian, Mr. Goncalo Castel-Branco.
He looked at me, he saw my old Hasselblad and he asked me what we have planned for the day. „If you have nothing special programmed and if you will take some shots of the train for me, you will be my guests“.....
And this was the beginning of a wonderful experience, of a great and incredible day.
But now to the photo above:
One of the team – trained to perfection to achieve the standart of excellence and responsibility this unique experience demands.
