2501-6_Entroncamento_23-03-03_1.jpg (140895 bytes)

Locomotive 2501-6, Entroncamento, 23-03-03. This locomotive has been painted in the (wrong) original livery back in 1998, celebrating the 50 years of diesel power in Portugal. Now, when time arrived for an overhaul, she has been repainted in the same wrong livery (where she is green, one should imagine blue...), but this time with the roof painted light blue instead of grey, like the rest of the body. Also, for the first time, she received the old CP winged symbol. The builder's plate moved once again to the "not original" location and the original (style, at least) pantographs have been replaced by modern ones...
