Priceless footage! Wonderful records of our railways. Many thanks for sharing!

Some great sights and (English electric) sounds. Those Soframe dmus are still the mainstay of Algarve coast line services almost 30 years later! A few captions (what and where) would make it an even more valuable record.

Thanks so much for sharing these, I loved Portugal, still do, but the railways aren't the same now, those times were great, I curious pairing of an Alco 1500 and 1200 at 08:10 !!

It's hard saying those were great times for Portuguese trains. It's true it's worse now but tains were already well in decline by that time. And they had been for decades before that. And kept being until today. It's just sad :c

1992 was a good year, because that's when i was born xD Good stuff could be seen then. After all, the 90's were still the golden era of public transport. Robust and livelong vehicles like this ones aren't made anymore. Today everything is crap. Let me give you a small update: - Those Mercedes 190D taxis aren't so popular as they were in that year, obviously. However they still can be seen easily; - Those diesel locomotives and similar ones are still used in maneuvering operations and sometimes in freight transport; - The same doesn't apply to the buses. Only 1% or even less of them still exist, and almost all of those belongs to particular entities

Lovely times the tram network was much bigger than today
