The metre gauge network extended some distance beyond the northern limits of Porto, and today we would explore it a little further. We headed first for Vila do Conde, named after the substantial Roman aqueduct. We were more interested in the railway viaduct, where three 2-8-2T-hauled trains are seen. Our next destination was Povoa de Varzim, where 0-4-4-0T E162 is seen arriving, closely observed by a local urchin!. Lastly, we retraced our steps down the suburban lines to Senhora da Hora, where E143 is depicted on a southbound passenger, and E93 scuttles along with a northbound freight. © Geoff’s Rail Diaries 2011
