International Railroad Discussion > MoW inside Vale biggest tunnel ( Brazil)Date: 02/04/20 17:37 MoW inside Vale biggest tunnel ( Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, Vale mining narrow gauge started a heavy MoW inside Sabará tunnel near here. The bore has 2,908.89 meters long and a grade of 1%. It is a wet tunnel and it is suffering a heavy maintenance for the third time. Now, all crossties and rails will be changed in one time. So, we won't have trains in that line for 13 days. It means almost all train in my area will stop too, since most them come and go to Vale system.
