ABPF is the largest railway preservation group in Brazil. They have many steam engines, some diesels a a lot of rolling stocks. APFB has some regionals in Southeast and South. Here it is the RSD8 restored last year by the Cruzeiro, SP regional.

Interesting ALCO RSD, Pedro.... no front platform for the crew.  Is there one at the other end?
