International Railroad Discussion > New life to former EFCB 370 Pacific 4-6-2 (Brazil)Date: 12/28/16 12:06 New life to former EFCB 370 Pacific 4-6-2 (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, former EFCB railroad 370 Pacific 4-6-2 is now next to the Santos Dumont (MG) station with two budd restaurant cars as a atraction to the railroad museum and cutural center. I visited it two days ago while on a trip from Rio de Janeiro to Belo Hozrionte. The engine is static and the two cars are real restauirantes where people can have meal or drinks. If you are nearby, do not forget to visit them.

Meanwhile it all looks great. Congrats to them. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/28/16 14:57 by Bob3985. Date: 12/28/16 14:57 Re: New life to former EFCB 370 Pacific 4-6-2 (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi,
There isn´t abandoned broad gauge tracks nearby where they could start a steam train site. So, they tryed to get a window on MRS Centro line tracks during weekends, but they couldn´t get ana agreement with MRS. So, they found a way to put the engine near the station. I by myself think that they chose the wrong idea, because soon the vandals with destroy and stole parts from the engine.

It would be really interesting to see some interior photos of those cars as-built.
