greater Sydney suburban railway timetable book, 1964

With 3 single decker suburban electric multiple units by the 'flying junctions', taken from the Regent Street bridge looking towards the Central station.  This was the year before the introduction of decimal currency in Australia, hence the mention of 'one shilling' which became 10 cents.

SNCF CC 65000 at La Rochelle, 1957

One of the 20 of the SNCF Class CC 65000 is seen upon introduction. Originally classified as the 060 DB series, they were affectionately known by French rail enthusiasts as the sous-marin (submarine) due to the unique streamlined shape and the round porthole-like windows along its sides.

Built by Alsthom between 1956 and 1958, these were among the first main-line diesels built in France to replace steam traction. They frequently operated passenger and freight services along the Atlantic coast, including the Nantes–La Rochelle–Bordeaux line. Prime movers were 2 x SACM MGO VSHR with an output power of 1,300 hp or 970 kW.

The series was withdrawn from service between 1981 and 1988 but two examples were preserved: CC 65001 at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse and CC 65005 by the Train des Mouettes.

The station dates from 1922, built by the former CdF de l'Etat.

Portuguese diesel-electric locomotive from 1948

As is fairly obvious, an Alco RSC-3, built for the Iberian broad track gauge. They were designated as Class 1500 of which 20 were built -- 1501 is at Portugal's National Railway Museum.  Most were scrapped, 3 were sold.

Portugal 2-10-0T tank engine with a mixed passenger/freight train, 1968

It was a highly distinctive, articulated Mallet compound tank locomotive class. Built initially in 1910 and again in 1923 by Henschel & Son for the Portuguese railways, these uncommon mixed-traffic engines featured two separate sets of driving wheels (a 2-4-6-0 wheel arrangement) built on a single rigid frame. 

One of the surviving engines from this series (Class E, specifically No. E 38) has been set aside for preservation and static display on the tracks just north of the Pocinho Station in northern Portugal. It is located near the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley (the pic likely shows the Duoro River), close to the Pocinho railway museum stop.
