Tua
The railbus waits to return to Mirandela having connected with the main line trains on the other side of the island platform. By this time the metre gauge freight trains no longer ran and the loco hauled stock seen in the background was only used for occasional special trains. The railbuses kept the line alive and provided panoramic views of the River Tua all the way to Mirandela but sadly, shortly after my visit, the line closed and the trackbed may be flooded by a hydro-electric scheme.
