From the east switching machine we can see the plantations nearby. I really love the rural area served by MRS Centro line. It is a quiet and safety place for watching trains

After half an hour at FCH siding, the first empty ore came. BTW, at Centro line we see just empty ore trains since the train only moves from East to West there. The loaded ones use another line

Same as vintage US crossing message, "Stop, Look, Listen" per google translate.
I can understand some Spanish being raised in southern Calif. but in Portuguese I need help.

Talk about being up close and personal.
That crosswalk is interesting also.

That tight paved trackage is really neat. Great views!
