International Railroad Discussion > It's raining here! (Brazil)Date: 02/29/20 12:09 It's raining here! (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, it is raining a lot these days on VLI narrow gauge system and the first accidents started to happen. Today morning the rain affected a fill under a VLI phosphate train. Not far from there, a flood reached the tracks on another line.
A chemical train also derailed eight cars loaded with LAB on another corridor. Pedro Pedro Rezende Vespasiano, MG Minas Gerais Railways   Date: 03/01/20 10:15 Re: It's raining here! (Brazil) Author: SvenMolson Yes, that what happens when water falls from the sky.
Sven Date: 03/01/20 12:14 Re: It's raining here! (Brazil) Author: tomstp What kind of ballast are they using on this line. From the pictures it seems the track is just sitting on red clay.
