Hi everybody.
In this topic I'll post some screenshots of the Sud-Express consists over the years, has seen in Portugal with Portuguese traction.
This was the elite train that CIWL had connecting Lisbon to Paris. Sometimes I will also post some "Imigrant" trains that also made the Paris-Lisbon connection but remained at Irun or Henday, at the border of Spain to France.

Northbound "Imigrants" train nº311 in the summer of 1992 with a rare double traction for the 820t and 480m long train, with Bombardier Cp1960 class at Pampilhosa, after changing electric traction.
It's all the way up from here until the border with Spain at Vilar Formoso/Fuentes de Oñoro.

Nice pics, Aldarion, I liked very much.
The Sudexpress since 1887 was a mythic train which I always admired.
I think I should take and upload some pic of this train between Miranda de Ebro and Ávila with a Confederation 2-4-2, the most powerful Spanish steam locomotive, that could be epic.
Obrigado!
