Uncle Joe Seffner,Fl. Date: 12/24/19 16:13 Re: MRS iron cast train 0382 ( Brazil) Author: tomstp Two questions: Do the trains run at night, and if so, do they have a red light on the last car?
Are there any plans to do away with the narrow gauge? Thanks Pedro.

The only plan to finish with narrow gauge is a federal law that says all new railroad must be built in broad gauge. So that's why railroads like EFC, FNS, FIOL and others under construction are broad gauge. The narrow gauge system is too big to be rebuilt to broad gauge. It is easier and more economical to keep it running in modern day with old and modern narrow gauge rolling stock. tomstp Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Two questions: Do the trains run at night, and > if so, do they have a red light on the last car? > > Are there any plans to do away with the narrow > gauge? > > Thanks Pedro.

Each subdivision has its own EOT color, so they can sent it back with the next train.
