Would anyone know the actual number of the derelict Mallet tank engine. 2-4-6-0. parked in the yard please?

When I travelled on the line to Duas Igrejas - Miranda in the early 1970's there were four Mallets at Pocinho, E201/203/209/216. So it's probably one of them. The loco is visible on Google Earth but it looks in a sorry state.
I had E209 on my trip to Miranda and back.

See E-213 here as well. And search for Pocinho.

Of the four daily trains up the line only one was steam hauled, the 15.40 from Pocinho, arriving at Miranda at 20.49. The loco stayed the night here and returned on the 7.00 departure next morning. The line required four Mallets because there was a lot of freight traffic from a quarry at Mogadouro carrying stone down to Pocinho where it was transferred to broad gauge wagons for the damming of the Douro.
