THE TRACKS OF MY YEARS: DAVE ROWLAND'S TRANSPORT GALLERY
1990-92 Railways: Portugal - Narrow Gauge Locomotives, Units & Railcars 1990/91/92
25th January 2008

Photographs of metre-gauge locomotives, units and railcars from the three trips I made to Portugal between 1990 & 1992. Coaching stock & other metre-gauge vehicles are to be found in a seperate collection. Most steam locos depicted here were either dumped or preserved, although a few were ready for action, but sadly not in steam. I'll be making a start on uploading my slides later in 2009 (hopefully), so many colour photos will be added to this collection.
