The "1565" Takargo
It was at Poceirão that I had the opportunity to capture the maneuver of the ex-CP 1565 locomotive of the charismatic Série 1550 from CP costructed by MLW-Canada (Montreal Locomotive Works)before these one was baoght by Bombardier. These locomotives was very reliable on Portuguse lines because they are very powerfull but at the same time not too big, ~1500HP. They has used in cargo and passanger services before being withdrawn. Now they are being baught by Takargo to use in cargo services.
