International Railroad Discussion > Train S699

Hi, yesterday morning (02/12) I watched the special train S699 with welded rail bars and damaged freight cars passing by Km 622 on way to Divinopolis shops. The rail bars are going to  Anapolis, GO to be transfered to broad gauge FNS railroad.

1)  BB36-7 9537, BB40-3 8143 and 4813 leading the train;

2) Approaching the crossing main  level at Km 622 

3) The blue truck needed to go backwards a bit in time to train pass.

Interesting looking rail train with the damaged cars. Liked the chug-chug of the point locomotive. Ground looks wet Pedro.

At that speed it will be a long time before it gets to where it is going.

It is running at low speed because it will enter a siding one kilometer ahead. Also, the damaged cars have a low speed limit since some have no brake shoes.

Great pics as always. Techincally, I think the lead unit is a SF30BB (formerly a Santa Fe U-boat rebuild called a SF30C). Good to see it still running.

Yes, 9537 is the only SF30C rebuilt to narrow gauge. The model here is BB36-7. The road number is the original from ATSF.
