International Railroad Discussion > Railfaning in Rumo system - part 7 (Brazil)

Hi, here it is another episode of my trip to ZSK yard. Now Ethanol train T54 with two AC44i and 80 cars going up hill the 2.02% grade  reaching São Carlos city and approaching the siding in ZSK yard. These ethanol trains comes from the sugar cane fields in Mato Grosso state and return with diesel or gasoline.

1 - 2) AC44i 9854 crossing the viaduct before ZSK siding. Note the poles of old cathenary system. That was an electrified system of former Companhia Paulista railroad, that had great electric locomotives, like the GE 2-D-D-2 "Russa", our Little Joe's;
3) A beautiful "raízen" TCT class tank car.

Thanks for all the posts, Pedro. Good to see somewhere totally different, and I don't think I'll make it there!  Chris uk.
