We were treated to a small surprise this morning when a special tourist train passed by.

Not the normal electric passenger service but old style carriages and a powerful old diesel locomotive to pull it.

Because Vale de Prazeres has a passing point at the station the train was waiting for the regular, scheduled train to pass in the opposite direction so it was stopped there for a few minutes.

I just happened to be on the roof, drilling a hole in the bathroom wall for a new extractor fan, when it pulled in.

The two workers who came today and I went up to the platform to watch it depart once the regional train had gone by.

Here is a quick video of it setting off.
