  Comentário do autor: "So far as I can think, the oldest main line Diesel locos in regular service during my Portuguese trips were these 1500 class Alcos. This one appears to be in practically ex works condition as it enters Barreiro station on the south bank of the river Tagus. The station and it's accompanying bus counterpart was a huge transport hub where people continued their onward journey to Lisbon by ferry."

  Comentário do autor: "One of the second build of Alco Road Switchers constructed in 1951 for the Portuguese State Railways no.1523 is seen waiting to leave Casa Branca with the 08.20 Barreiro to Beja train. These second series locos were fractionally more powerful than the first batch (CP class 1501) but only five were delivered in 1951. During the 1970 both classes 1501 and 1521 had their original Alco 244 12 cylinder engines replaced by Alco 251-C engines installed at CP's Barreiro works."
