International Railroad Discussion > Logging train C176 (Brazil)

Hi, today morning I could watch two trains running here in town. One of them was the VLI  logging train C176. Here are some pics of it.

1) C176 passing through EVP yard with 84 flat cars of eucalyptus for Suzano cellulose plant in Aracruz, ES on Vale / EFVM system;

2) The train at Ribeirão da Mata siding (ERE);

3) At the ERE crossing level.

I have often wondered why trains are usually running at slow speeds (10-20 MPH) and then after the first part this one really got his speed up, I guess around 40 MPH.

The freight trains have to reduce speed here while entering the yards or sidings for crossing. That's why in the first part of the video the train was in low speed.
