International Railroad Discussion > A raid at Paranagua hill (BrazilDate: 11/25/19 16:33 A raid at Paranagua hill (Brazil Author: pedrop Hi, my friend Rony sent me these series of pictures and small videos from a raid he did today at Marumbi natural park where Rumo railroad has the famous tracks on Paranaguá hill, in the namesake city in Paraná state, in the South.
1- 2 : Marumbi tunnel Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/25/19 16:35 by pedrop. Date: 11/25/19 16:54 Re: A raid at Paranagua hill (Brazil Author: pedrop 3) The raid starts using a 4x4 in a dirt road through the forest and up hill on a big grade.
4) Then you reach the tracks at Engenheiro Lange station where we leave the car and starts the tracking. 5) The station is under restoration. Tbe first train of the day is leaded by an GE ES43BBi 666....not a good road number. for sure...

7) a view from below the water tower. 8) Old crew house in the yard. Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, https://youtube.com/c/minasgeraisrailways1 Date: 11/25/19 17:11 Re: A raid at Paranagua hill (Brazil Author: dwb909 Picture 6 kind of reminds me of the C855A.
