Unspecified Articulated Locomotives in Portugal


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 5851)

Since this information comes from a Czech-language website, I can only guess that this was a Henschel & Sohn design that was later enlarged to constitute the U 47 class on the Czech railways.
