what is it?
The Série 9100 were a class of metre gauge diesel railcars built for use by the Portuguese Railways (CP) on the Tâmega line. Three 9100 series railcars were built in 1949 by Swedish manufacturer NOHAB of Trollhättan. They were essentially a narrow gauge version of CP's larger Iberian broad gauge Série 0100 diesel railcars.
