International Railroad Discussion > Magnesite train C558 (Brazil)Date: 05/02/21 14:39 Magnesite train C558 (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, the winter is coming here in town. Today is cold with a dark sky, but no rains. Our winter usually is very dry and with many fires in the fields everywhere. I visited EVP yard in the afternoon to get pics of the daily magnesite train class 58 that comes from Bahia state. It is a small train leaded by GE U20C's, but the trip is long; more than 900 km.
1) Waiting for the train near the North gate of Soicon / Liz Cement Co; 2) TR57 rails and tirefonds from the 1970's; 3) C558 is arriving. Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, Edited 2 time(s).

Sorry for the zoom mistake while the train was approaching. I think the cell phone screen was dirty. If I cut that part of the video I could lose the horn of the units.
