International Railroad Discussion > A Dash 9 overhauled by Wabtech of BrazilDate: 04/04/24 18:47 A Dash 9 overhauled by Wabtech of Brazil Author: pedrop Wabtech of Brazil is overhauling the old BB40-9's of Vale mining. Unit 1105 is one of them and I saw it here in town yesterday. I noted that Wabtech also removed the old GE builder's plate and add its own plate.

Vale/ EFVM (narrow gauge) refused the Evolution ES43BBi's offered by GE/ Wabtec years ago. Only Rumo and VLI accepted them. Interesting that in the broad gauge system EFC, Vale accepted to use the Evolutions ES58ACi's.
