Railways - Portugal: books - history and rolling stock
Books on the history, locomotives and other rolling stock of CP (Comboios the Portugal) and other railway companies in Portugal.
Iberian Railways
The railways of Spain and Portugal saw steam locomotives working on the main lines until the late 1970s, although in Spain several mining companies still employed steam into the 1980s. Iberian railways were unusual in that they used a wider gauge of 5 ft 3 in. for their main lines, which was rare in Europe, and this book shows some of the last Spanish main line steam-operated services, both passenger and freight, around Salamanca in 1974, and the coal lines from Andorra to Escatron, plus the narrow-gauge lines of the Ponferrada to Villablino coal system.
Also included are some of the last steam-operated trains on the broad-gauge Douro Valley line from Porto to Regua and Pocinho, and the narrow-gauge lines which branched off of this line through beautiful scenery in the Port wine-producing area of Portugal, using ancient locos and rolling stock. From his collection, George Woods presents a selection of previously unpublished colour photographs, taken in an area which does not often appear in print.

For around two decades, photographer André Poling has photographed the world-famous tram in Lisbon and the people of this metropolis. From this collection, he has compiled an extraordinary illustrated book that creates a wonderful monument to Lisbon's tram. The impressive photographs are accompanied by lively texts written by the well-known author Sabine Weiss.
An authentic collaborative effort that not only delights tram enthusiasts, but also people who have fallen in love with the city, its people and its tram during a visit to Portugal's capital.
