Pocinho is near the head of the valley, last junction on the route to the Spanish border at Barca d'Alva. Three more of the attractive 4-6-0s are seen in action. Their crews were getting used to railway photographers, and responded to an upward wave of both arms with a quick adjustment to the oil-feed, resulting in the unhealthy but photogenic "clag" in the first picture. Pocinho was host to an interesting little narrow gauge pilot locomotive, No E41, seen above. Not to be outdone, Regua had its own pilot too, none other than E1, seen below.
