International Railroad Discussion > A wonder that is gone (Brazil)

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.

VERYCool! Thanks

Pedro, I hope you've been inoculated against the yellow fever outbreak which I read is in Mina Gerais among other states.

Oh yes, I am militar in the air force, so I have been inoculated each 10 years against many fevers common found in the tropics.

That was a beautiful station, situated like the B&O station, Point of Rocks, Maryland. Thanks for sharing, Pedro. Gerry
