IR 876 Pocinho - Porto São Bento
In the ninetees Portugal was my favorite trainspotting country because there was a big variety of old locomotives and trainsets. Around the year 2000 my enthousiasm for Portuguese trains faded away as the variety also faded away. For example on the Douro line the hauled trains were substituted by ex-RENFE trainsets. I wouldn't have thought more than 20 years ago that in 2023 there would be hauled trains by 1400 locos again in the Douro valley!
