In unraveling a story, the recovery of the knowledge of people who dedicated their lives to the Portuguese railroad system becomes of extreme urgency given the finitude of the sources involved. The project Entroncamento de histórias (meaning intersection of histories) carried out by the National Railway Museum, held for two consecutive years, has openned the museum to the local community, gathering the stories of those who made the history of the railways. As cultural heritage, to be transmitted to future generations, these testimonies will feature on the permanent exhibition at the National Railway Museum and will complement the objects.  a2182-9543
