Artist's Comments

After this slight peak, here it is, a full deviation just for these units, the most numerous CP has, right about now: the CP 2240 series.
Nicknamed Lili Caneças, after the Portuguese socialite (because of her numerous face-lifts, and plastic surgeries), these units were adapted from the old CP 2100-2200 EMU-3 series and now perform all the Regional duties on electrified lines (four of them were painted in yellow and black and were transferred to CP-Porto, for suburban trains). Here, the 12h00 5408/9 Regional train from Coimbra to Guarda leaves the Pampilhosa station.

PS: this photo was only possible due to the people at the Pampilhosa station, who allowed me - no, not allowed: invited is the most correct word - to go to the control tower and take a few shots
PPS: as all the photos I took that day, the camera's clock was one hour delayed.

Fascinated by photogenic things, especially nature and trains.

Here's my train-website (in German): [link]

Yeah, and from what I've heard in talks with other railfans, the people who work on the freight sector are 5*: waving, and complimenting us with the horn...

Thanks for the :+fav: :)

Will somebody teach me how to take better-than decent photographs?

It was great indeed... only thing bugging me was that I was using that camera for the first time.
