On this day four years ago—31 March 2019—Denis McCabe and I visited a busy level crossing on Comboios de Portugal (Portugal’s national railway) double-track main line at Santarem, north of Lisbon.

In just a few minutes, we witnessed a parade of freight and passenger trains.

The crossing was manually operated, and the crossing tender had her work cut out for her. No sooner than one train had cleared, when another approached.

I made these photos with my FujiFilm XT-1 digital camera. Files were exposed as Fuji RAW and adjusted using Adobe Lightroom.
