Twenty six years ago (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

While I was looking at some old photos I took in the 1990's, I found this one showing me (at right) and friend Rogério Cordeiro in Campo Grande yard, near Paranapiacaba, SP. The locomotive is a 1962 Eire built GE C-C class, broad gauge for old RFFSA. Only six were built and none suvived. They were scrapped a few years after this photo.
January 28, 1995.

I am wondering if any US railroad also had this model.
