I've just found this post and was looking at all the pictures of Portugese railways (the real ones!) earlier on in the thread. But here's a question (which may be a bit off-topic): I've travelled on Spanish Railways and took a few pictures of the trains I travelled on or in the station, but last year in Ronda, after taking a couple of pictures, an announcement came over the information system (in English as well as Spanish) that customers were advised that it was not allowed to take photographs at any time. Needless to say, I put my camera away (it's not a large SLR or anything like that) but I assume that someone saw me and put out the message. I've since found out that it is illegal to take pictures of railway installations in Spain. Now, does anyone know if it's the same in Portugal? Presumably, the picture takers in this thread did not receive any trouble.
