Finally after almost 5 hours in the bus I am getting close to Régua, and the Douro line for today's #CrossBorderRail
The question: would it make sense to re-open the former cross border section from Pocinho 🇵🇹 to Salamanca 🇪🇸?
Would it have any more than tourist potential?

@jon@gruene.social In your preparation for Pocinho did you come across the people riding on the line east of Pocinho using (I think) motorised drasines or own built railcarts or something similar? It may have been only on a social media platform you don't do. Sadly I can't find it again :(
