Resist BA-61!
The BA-61 is a locomotive unique in the world that started working in the Portuguese railroad in 1924. It crossed the Beira Alta region between the beach shore in Figueira da Foz and the frontier with Spain in Vilar Formoso. Today it stands abandoned in an unprotected warehouse where the parts are being stolen every day. For 20 years the Portuguese authorities responsible for this equipment know about this situation but don't take action to prevent these crimes and recover this museum piece.
