Slag train O571 (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

Hi, today morning I found a big slag train running through my town. I took the motorcycle and followed it to a rural spot to get a different scenery. Here it is.

Pedro

1- 3) O571 at Km 637. Beautifull scenery in a dry Winter morning.

Yes, just one blast. From the train the engineer sure have a vision of the road following the tracks almost all time.
