Portuguese term or phrase: do Ramal Ferroviário do Papel
I am translating a web page for a construction company in Portugal. There are many references to this Feroviáia do Papel. I have researched andd can't come across anything that makes sense, as Paper Train is clearly not appropriate. There are numerous reference in the site to this frase an I am wonering if in fact it is a colloquial name for a historical train that has been renovated. Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!
