This is near Vitória do Mearim in Maranhão. The EFC runs about 890km from the mines in Parauapebas to the port in São Luís, carrying iron ore around the clock.

A Vale cargo train derailed this morning near Ouzilândia, Alto Alegre do Pindaré, Maranhão on the Estrada de Ferro Carajás. Multiple gondola cars carrying iron ore left the rails, causing significant structural damage to the line. No injuries reported.
The incident forced Vale to suspend passenger service Thursday through Friday. Passengers were offered two options: bus alternative for continuing travel or full refund.
The passenger train is critical infrastructure for 27 municipalities across Pará and Maranhão, especially during flooding season when it’s often the only connection between communities. The Carajás Railway moves 120 million tons of cargo and carries 320,000 plus passengers yearly on Brazil’s longest operating passenger rail route.
