International Railroad Discussion > Liz cement company yard (Brazil)Date: 06/07/18 17:31 Liz cement company yard (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, I took some pics of MRS delivering some box cars to Liz Cement Co. today morning. Here it is a view of Liz privated yard seen from the North gate. The dual gauge tracks are nice.
