International Railroad Discussion > MRS today (Brazil)Date: 07/19/19 18:15 MRS today (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, today I had a few hours to explorea bit more of MRS tracks in the Carandai cutoff.
1) Carandai station at the end of Carandai cutoff. The location is known as FCY by MRS CCO system; 2) An empty ore approaches the crossing level in downtown Carandaí; 3) MRS AC44i 3455 and 3482 leading the empty ore. Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, Date: 07/19/19 18:30 Re: MRS today (Brazil) Author: pedrop 4) The train entering the yard;
5) The road side of Carandaí station, now a police departmente and craftsmanship center 6) Not far from that location I found old FHS class hoppers stored at Engenheiro Drumond siding; Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, https://youtube.com/c/minasgeraisrailways1 Date: 07/19/19 18:33 Re: MRS today (Brazil) Author: pedrop 7) One of the old FHS class hoppers used to carry sugar. Now they ahve been replaced by new FDT class hoppers;
8) In spite of the age, this rail is in good shape at mainline; 9) The end of the line of the FHS class hoppers at Drumond siding.

Love those searchlights!

Their signaling system controls are much different than US and they decided to continue using searchlight signals. Stephen |
