International Railroad Discussion > The local going backwards (Brazil)Date: 06/04/22 09:22 The local going backwards (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, last Thursday (2) I watched the local taking gondolas loaded with steel coils here in EVP yard and going backwards to Multitex Terminal in ENG yard. Here are some pictures and a video.
1) The yard man climbs in the rear end after the train pass by the grade crossing; 2 - 3) Four U20Cs take the consist backwards to ENG yard, about five kilometers from EVP.

The U20C's stopped at mainline after leave EVP yard while the engineer returns the switching machine to track 2 again. This is the normal position to the trains coming through EVP to ENG. BTW, I like the sound of their air compressors.
That's all for today. Thanks for watching. Pedro Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, https://youtube.com/c/minasgeraisrailways1 You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

The yard man had a long backup ride at a rather fast pace.
