Description
I'd died and gone to heaven if I'd had this train when I took this picture ... I'd have felt blessed. But, heh.

CP Class 1550's 1559 and 1552 take care of the 10h37 75373 cereal train from Entroncamento to Badajoz. The day is the same of these images : after all, it would've been stupid if I' had done 200/300 kilometers just for one train, wouldn't it?
