Big tires on the rails (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

Hi, today I was lucky to find MRS train O181 running through EVP yard with zinc and big tires for mining companies.  

1 - 3) Train O181 entering EVP by track 2 at noon. Two C44 and a U23CA leading the train.

4) A rare U23CA in the consist...and in nice shape;
5) At side, the yard switchers U20C just  arrived from ENG yard where they were switching the local limestone train. They delayed MRS enter EVP yard  since they came back by track 2;
6) Ore cars class GDT loaded with zinc.

7) Zinc cars;
8 -9) MRS well car class PRU loaded with four containers with big Michelin tires for mining companies. I have noted three kind of tires are coming in these trains.  The big ones fit only three in each containers.

Like all your posts, great photography and interesting operations to learn about, all in Brazil, a land I have barely visited.
Thank you for taking us to see your world.
