Description
After this image was done, I cursed inwardly and made a mental note: next time I'll go spotting, I'll bring with me a chainsaw. A small, elfish tree, and still, it got in the way :mad: if it were on the other side of the line, I wouldn't care less about it... but oh well, no sense in crying over spilled milk, I think.
So, anyway, this is CP 1556 with the 75375 container train from Entroncamento to Badajoz, in Spain, caught before Elvas. To be honest, that day ended in some pretty neat pictures...
