International Railroad Discussion > A wonder that is gone (Brazil)Date: 02/22/18 13:26 A wonder that is gone (Brazil) Author: pedrop One of the most beautifull and interesting railroad stations in Brazil was built in Sabara, in the state of Minas Gerais. The building was built as a starting point of a branch to link former Central of Brazil railroad (EFCB) to the new capital of Minas Gerais, the city of Belo Horizonte that was built in the 1890´s.
The building had a diffeent style never found in other locations in the country, in triangle format with twenty seven dooors and none a window. Unfortunatelly, the building was demolished in the 1960´s in an era where people did not care on railroad preservation in Brazil.
