  • Tomei conhecimento deste vídeo através de sugestão do You Tube porque sou louco por trens. Vi todos os 11; através da CFB e sua destruição pode-se ver o que fizeram com esse maravilhoso país. Da uma enorme tristeza, para dizer o mínimo. Fico feliz de poder estar me comunicando em português, essa nossa linda língua, o que nos faz irmãos (estou no sul do Brasil). Quero saber muito mais, vou entrar em contato outras vezes. Um grande abaraço!!

  • é 1 pena ver esse trem parado!

  • How many locos are there in this depot or in the whole of Angola alone?

  • Like the video and no worries using my pictures but it would have been polite to ask or at least send me a link.

  • O CFB ajudou muito para o desenvolvimento e pelo crescimento de Angola de norte ate o sul, uma grande pena que uma historia de muita luta teminou desse jeito.

  • Los ferrocarriles chilenos compran a buen precio trastos como estos, atraves de intermediarios españoles que los pintan y los dejan como nuevos!

  • Simplesmente criminoso......

  • I love all your videos, thank you.

  • Thanks for a nice pictures. Have you got more?

  • nice pictures of the ``good old dayds``
