ENTRONCAMENTO
District : Santarém
Origin/meaning :
Entrocamento was the closest thing in Portugal to a rail yard and is "entirely" connected with the railroads in Portugal. Here two lines branched, the northern and one that goes to Tomar.
What appears to be two cups or chalices, are really two rails for the trains...and the red circle is a stop sign associated with rail traffic.
