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 From his collection, George Woods presents a selection of previously unpublished colour photographs, taken in an area which does not often appear in print.
Until the final decade of the 20th Century, Portugal boasted one of the most extensive narrow gauge railway networks in Europe. In addition, steam locomotives remained in regular service until the late 1970s, which resulted in the country gaining a reputation as a magnet for enthusiasts over a long period of time. Sadly all this was to end by the turn of the century, with only a few isolated routes operated by railcars remaining in use.
This album illustrates the many systems actively at work between 1955 and 2005, with a diverse collection of motive power working amid stunning scenery and interesting locations.
Rund zwei Jahrzehnte hat der Fotograf André Poling die weltbekannte Straßenbahn in Lissabon sowie die Menschen dieser Metropole in Szene gesetzt. Aus diesem Fundus hat er einen außergewöhnlichen Bildband zusammengestellt, der Lissabons Tram ein wunderbares Denkmal setzt. Die eindrucksvollen Fotografien werden durch lebendige Texte aus der Feder der bekannten Schriftstellerin Sabine Weiß begleitet.
Ein authentisches Gemeinschaftswerk, das nicht nur Straßenbahnfreunde begeistert, sondern auch Menschen, die sich bei einem Besuch in Portugals Hauptstadt in die Stadt, ihre Menschen und ihre Straßenbahn verliebt haben.
