International Railroad Discussion > Great machines in a dead line (Brazil)Date: 05/26/19 15:19 Great machines in a dead line (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, this week I received a sab news: maybe a group of old diesel locomotives separated for preservation since a long time will be scrapped soon. The reason is that they were moved from an old railroad shop area in 2016 that was chosen to receive a new olimpic stadium for the Olimpic games in Rio de Janeiro at that time. They were sent to a closed central station near downtown Rio, and now the area was chose to receive a new building for the Justice. So, those great machines can meet the torch if the preservation group can not find a new place to them. It is really sad. In the group we have the last units of famous locomotive types, such as the FA1 and AS616. What a sad world we live where people do not care for history anymore!

World is going down the crapper every day.
