> Hi all,
> This first picture was taken from the railway bridge over the river Duero a most precarious location to be in. This was at the village of Ferradosa Portugal taken with with a telephoto lens of 4-6-0 284 built by Henschal of Germany coming up the most spectacular gorge to the west of the village working the 0920 Oporto to Barca de Alva. They looked very similar to the Great Eastern Railway B12 class also 4-6-0s. Around the corner where the train is was just amazing, the railway clinging to the rock face. About a mile down the line it passed through a tunnel blasted through the rock face with a huge slab of slopping rock on top that had split away from the rest leaving a wide gap over the top of the tunnel. It almost looked as if it would one day slide into the river below. There it is in the second photograph. I am sat on a rock with a sheer drop into the river to my left. We would do anything for the master shot!. 7th May 1973.
