Railfaning with two famous US railfans (Brazil) - part 7
Author: pedrop

Here it is the 7th part of my trip with the two north american railfans here in Brazil. This time we can see the actions while following empty limestone train C101 and loaded C630.

1) Here they are waiting for train C101 on a overpass at the Campo Belo cutoff;

2) BB36-7 728 and  708 leading the empty limestone train C101 that also  has the U20C 3884 as a trailing unit that went to Bhering shops for fueling in the day before;

3) The train running in the  Campo Belo cutoff.
