Scenic Train Ride in Brazil
A nostalgic journey through the countryside of Brazil, capturing the scenic train ride from Campinas to Jaguariúna.
The main 4-6-0 steam locomotive shown in this video was built by The Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia in 1895. The diesel locomotive was made by Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors in 1960. Being short and relatively lightweight, these diesel locomotives were introduced to phase out steam traction on branch lines and smaller trains of the Mogiana Railway. Its 875hp output matched that of larger steam locomotives, easily replacing the older engines for both freight and passenger trains.
The railway in the region depicted in this video uses 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3/8 in) metre gauge tracks.
