International Railroad Discussion > A rare G12 seen with train C358 ( Brazil)

Yesterday the magnesite train C358 passed through my town with GM G12 4155 coming from Bahia state to Arcos yard (EAO) where it will replace another G12 that works as yard switcher with the limestone trains there. Here are some views of it here.

1 - 2)  U20C 2687 leading the small train C358 through EVP yard;

3) G12 4155 getting a ride to EAO yard, about 300km from my town.

5) The train at KM 621 near ERE siding;

6) The video. 
That's all for now.

Thanks for sharing these. Interesting that they use DP on these trains. Is this the standard car count?

 

The C58 trains comes from an area with light rails and very sinuous curves, built in the 1920's. So they use DPU to avoid the derailments that were common there years ago. The lenght of the trains there are 15 to 45 cars with DPU 2x2 or 1x1.

Videos on dual gauge track are not that common.
