I'm curious if you have more shots of the nose of that BB40T-2 there. It has a different nose headlight configuration than the way any of them were delivered. Date: 01/04/17 04:49 Re: My first pics of 2017 (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, VLI 4820 is former Rio Grande SD40T-2 5386. Here are some pics of them in my website minasgeraisrailways

Did you ever get the chance to get to Sao Paolo to take photos or videos of the Stadler rack drive locomotives at work with the loaded iron ore drags and the empties coming back up hill from the port? Date: 01/04/17 10:46 Re: My first pics of 2017 (Brazil) Author: bath_wildcat I guess my question is why no dynamic braking on these units?
Date: 01/04/17 13:23 Re: My first pics of 2017 (Brazil) Author: pedrop The dynamic brake fans were relocated to inside the long hood.

They gave it a nose job with an original EMD nose-headlight design it seems, instead of the original Rio Grande nose-gyralight box.
