Cab ride through the border of MG - GO states (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

I received some small videos from a VLI employee that took a cab ride through the border of Minas Gerais  and Goiás states.  I edited them to fit TO rules. The train is a V class with ties for MoW. These locations are about 600 Km from here. It is a beautifull and big area with many soybean fields an mineral resources. 
Enjoy.

Are the switches hand thrown or electric on that line?

Thanks for posting this, Pedro! I enjoyed watching it. That's some major infrastructure along that line. Do you know when it was constructed?

Hi, those tracks were built by Army in the middle of 1960s. It has great bridges like the "A" bridge in Araguari, MG.

The switches are spring / hand thrown in most of VLI narrow guage system.
