Looking for a DDM45
Author: pedrop

Hi, in August 2009 I found the DDM45 4292 scrapped in a isolated yard in Irai de Minas, MG Brasil while railfaning with a american friend. In September 2010,a friend of mine found the same DDM45 in a truck from Bolivia in Estiva, MG a city very far from where I first saw the DDM45. . The locomotive was cut or disassembled  to fit in the truck. I am wondering where it is nowadays. Of course it wasn´t scrapped, since it could be cut in pieces before transport to Bolivia or another country nearby. Does anyone here knows about it? I am think about a collector that could bought them and take a private collection somewhere in South America.

Pedro ... I suspect that the unit (... what was remaining!) has been sold for scrap and hauled off by truck for further dismantling.

It could be an option but it is strange the Bolivian truck since the location is very far from Bolivia border.
