Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

A four day trip to Portugal and Spain started with a flight to Faro where we stayed the first night. Next day an electric move to and from Tunes and then north with the “Blue Train” while it was still being diesel operated (very loudly with 1946). Once at Entroncamento it was down to Lisboa and then EMU for a bus (!) to Abrantes and then train to Covilhã, back to Lisboa and first time over the huge bridge with diesel power to Vendas Novas and back. Next day slowly made my way north with a break at Pombal for photos and then to Porto and an EMU to Guimarães for the night. Next day I took the hauled IC to Entroncamento for an Alsthom to Covilhã, DMU forward to Guarda and then "Sud Express" to Spain. I got off in snow covered Miranda de Ebro for a 252 to Palencia, then EMU to Valladolid and flight home
