| National Rail Museum Portugal: Recently restored CP 1002 British "Drewry" diesel shunter. The true start of diesel traction took place after the Second World War, with state support and after concentration of the rail network in a single concession, the Companhia dos Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses in 1947. It was during that year that the State introduced six shunting locomotives, which became known as "Drewrys", in reference to the English manufacturer, The Drewry Car Company. |
