CP 1973 (CP 1960)

Many things have changed since this photo was taken. Firstly, this branch to Aveiro harbour is now electrified, so there's no need for diesel traction here. Secondly, CP no longer makes freight trains, since the freight division was bought by MSC / Medway. And, finally, these cement trains that were previously regular in this branch, are not made as often or are not made at all. Here we see the diesel locomotive 1973 with a cement train to Aveiro harbour.
