The history of the railway in Portugal is not just about tracks and stations—it's about lives.
The Beira Alta Line is one of the country's most emblematic international connections, marked by stories of emigration, escape from poverty, and hope for a better future.
For decades, this line was the main route for thousands of Portuguese people to leave for Europe. But it was also a destination for those seeking refuge.
🚆 In this video we explore:
The historical importance of the Beira Alta Line
The role of the railway in Portuguese emigration
The social and human impact of this international connection
The symbolism of the "route of longing"
Today, this line continues to be a strategic axis—but its past remains marked by profound and often forgotten stories.
