Platforms of S縊 Bento, a photo from Porto, North

Photographer's Note

Behind the beautiful station hall of S縊 Bento, platform area looks quite different. Tracks disappear to tunnel right behind the station. Covered platforms and surrounding tall buildings give the place rather cavern like impression. This rather tired looking diesel train is used on unelectrified lines of Northern Portugal.

Hello Kari,

The the disease of the century, graffiti on all tram and trains.
Notwithstanding I like graffiti but on the perfect place.
Nice perspective and depth picture.
An excellent choice along the platform.
Also a part of the city in background.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Kari,
The cultural heritage didn't reach far. This is not as beautiful as inside the station building, but it's quite an exciting view with a good big city atmosphere. The yellow train covered with graffiti is a very strong eye-catcher and you placed it well on a diagonal with the green iron columns framing the view.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Kari
I can never resist a Porto photo :)
great to see this one, i've never seen the tram on this platform before. this is certainly a dirtier part of the city, and the graffiti on the tram goes well with the run down architecture in the bg. Love it. cheers

Hello Kari,
The yellow train makes a great diagonal in the middle. The graffiti adds some more colours as well on a pretty cloudy day. The hazy view of the houses in the background is fine as well.

Hello Kari,

Obviously the railway yards are unlocked at night. There has been a noticeable reduction in Graffiti since the city council installed a barbed wire fence around the railway marshalling yards. Porto looks like a charming smaller version of Lisbon. Tfs!

Hello Kari,
Well selected POV with the train as main subject, added the platform green structure on right side and there is a view of the neighborhood beyond and above the station.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Kari,
An interesting and colorful train. From its looks, I would have guessed it is an electrical train.

Hello Kari,
Your favorite topic railways, is shown in an interesting way at the train station. I do not know if it is a graffiti or a mural painted on a train because there is a difference between these two terms.
A slightly foggy day adds atmosphere to this photo.
Best regards,
Zbigniew
