Looking at a computer map of Errmesinde, which is a civil parish of Valongo Municipality, previously a city on the ng line, a few km north of Porto, the locomotive is featured plinthed adjacent to a building though the actual location is not identified. From this I would confirm its removal from Regua as more recent p, from 2020, suggest. Hopefully I will locate precisely with a future visit to the area?

My note of February 2020 regarding this locomotive should be removed from the relevant files as being incorrect, apologies! The two locomotives moved from Regua to Gulföes, Porto were Nos. E-165/209 and located in sidings at the far side of this workshops (No E-207 has been displayed near the entrance for several years). As far as I am aware Nos. E-201/208/210 remain, or did in 2018/19, stored opposite Regua Station. Of course, No. E-201 may have been subsequently moved an restored ? I have no idea how the original mistake occurred, not deliberately by me!

The French magazine Echo du Rail February 2020 had an article on these locos. 201 was reported to be plinthed at Ermesinde and 208 and 210 were still dumped at Regua. I have no details of actual sightings.

Google Maps have a photo dated September 2020 which shows this loco and E 210 still present in Regua. Can this be confirmed, or has the move mentioned in the previous note taken place since?
