International Railroad Discussion > Two trains crossing in EVP yard (Brazil)

   Yesterday, Sunday 14, I was walking on the road along EVP yard when I perceived that a train crossing will happen there. So I wait a bit and could watch the lime train C160 waiting on track #2 to be surpassed by empty ore M777 that entered the yard by track #1. This train had a collision two days before at Costa Lacerda yard (VCS), when a MoW machine was working on a track at side oppened the wings and hit Vale BB40-9W 1130. Pics below.

1 - 2) The machine hitten at VCS yard by train M777;

3 ) The point where the machine touched the Dash 9.

Nice video Pedro, with many trains in the yard and the moving lime train.

The damaged MOW equipment is a Ballast Regulator. It moves and shapes the ballast to the desired contour.

Machine operator was promoted to foreman, to get him off the machines.
