International Railroad Discussion > Moving ALL BB40-9W'S on the road (Brazil)Date: 01/12/22 10:04 Moving ALL BB40-9W'S on the road (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, I received this nice video from a friend. It belongs to a group in the South. The link to the original page is here
youtube.com/c/FerroviaSul The video was recorded in 2012, when the new GEs arrived from US to former ALL railroad, now Rumo. These units were too big to reach Curitiba shops by the narrow gauge tracks in the Mar hill, so they were trucked from Paranagua port to the shops. The road is BR277 in Paraná state. Enjoy.

Nice runbys, like the polka dot red truck the best, the locos paint is nice as well. Date: 01/13/22 04:59 Re: Moving ALL BB40-9W'S on the road (Brazil) Author: TheApostleGreen Thanks for sharing, Pedro! Love this video!
