International Railroad Discussion > I am missing the old CVRD (Brazil)

Well, the old Companhia Vale do Rio Doce - CVRD changed the name to simply "Vale" a few years ago. It also changed the colors from brown & white to green and yellow. Nowadays it is very rare to see a locomotive using the old CVRD initials and colors. Pic below taken at Eldorado yard in 2006. I am missing that times.

That was a nice paint scheme.  I'd never seen that before.  Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff, my young friend..

It is/was essentially the first BNSF paint scheme with the colors changed. The font for the road numbers are the same as BNSF used.

Cool! Where do they interchange? :D

So neat to se dual gauge being used in the world for freight. None left in the USA that I know of.

Nice paint job.

Yes, the dual gauge territory is the most interesting here, because we can expect to find many types of locomotives and cars.
