Tua
Stored steam locomotive and associated stock at the Tua interchange station in 2007. The metre gauge Mallett 0-4-4-0T tanks were used here as station pilots until at least 1983. By 2007 the Tua Valley line had been cut back by fifty miles from Braganca to Mirandela and there were only two railbuses a day. The line closed completely in 2008. The broad gauge Douro Valley line on the left however has continued to see regular passenger and freight trains between Porto and Pochino. Thanks to Bill Jamieson for additional info.
