[locotrenperu]

great catch!!

[TheV8fepasa]

Brazilian'a Railways are sucks. Brazil uses to be a suck country! I have to was born in Brazil!

[trainmasta227]

Hey o00o00ozy. Can you tell me when this train runs. I know its a special train but whenever they send export diesels they send em on the line near my house

[o00o00ozy]

@trainmasta227

One ran today. Was through Harrisburg, PA this afternoon.

[trainmasta227]

@o00o00ozy Yeah he stopped at Vardo Yard and isnt leaving untill 5 AM and i wont be up then

[GordonFreemanD40]

the liveries on the locomotives for Brazil look like the Chinese C32-7 livery

[storm24awesome]

i counted 11 free running locomotives

[trainmandan05]

They are on spare trucks huh, That would explain why they are elavated off the ground like that.

[ErickSatoh]

@trainmandan05 They are equipped with four B-style trucks, two at each end replacing the conventional C-style trucks ts for 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) narrow gauge, The standard C44-9W traction motors cannot fit in the narrower trucks. To get the same total power, more of the smaller motors are needed, 500hp each traction motors, are high the ground because of the Span-Bolster

[TTX7458]

Nice big GE's heading to Brazil, home of good ass looking woman.

[WhopBobbaLuBop]

@TTX7458 ...thanks for your notable comparison!

[moonwalker5058]

E Bell and K5HL!!!!

[leandromoreira1990]

The company is EFVM-Estrada de Ferro Vitória minas, its operation is in the States of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo.

[BNforever2009]

nice video!! Like those exports!!

[nsrailfann4life91]

Colorfull paint scheme. I hope someone makes some MSTS models of these cool locos. I have only seen 1 in person. It was actually operating under its own power. It was on a test run. The horn sounded really weird lol.

[maddennis55]

You better do a recount; I counted 11 of the exports, plus 11 flats!

[vladimir2366fa]

hi, the movies is excellent, thanks ★★★★★

[Engineer9736]

They should turn them all on together this way :D Enough pulling power to push the rails backwards :D

[NorfolkWestern34]

the ones that i caught were different lol

[NorfolkWestern34]

i caught 6 of these in thompsontown PA, i this is very cool

[elmerpixlie]

i saw these vales come thru cresson i think there were 4 of them a few days ago

[CSXno601]

VALE is now receiving GE ES58ACi locomotives. 4 of them went east on NS 326 and 36A about a week ago, and now another 6 just went west, again on 36A, yesterday (6/15). They might come through Richland. They are on their way to Brazil.

[CSXno601]

In this comment, I meant to say "another 6 just went east", not west. My apologies.

[o00o00ozy]

I got the first chunk on 36A because I was in western PA, but they are going to Norfolk, VA, so I didn't see the second movement, which sucks because it went a day after I left (I knew it was coming too).

[CSXno601]

Apparently VALE ordered 70 of these ES58ACi locomotives, so there should be several opportunities to catch them.

[furryfurball1221]

well that was pretty awesome.

[Guilford88panam]

so that was all headed to brazil? and those where es40dcs? never heard of thoses

[Hobbytrem]

Yes, They are running at Vale's Carajás Railroad that crosses the southern Pará State and ends on São Luís (St. Louis) port in Maranhão State.

The paint scheme is beautiful, but Vale is a mafia that sabotages the smaller mining companies in Brazil. Vale is an illuminati company, and I have no respect for it.

[Guilford88panam]

i see cool man. But i understand what you mean for not having respect for Vale.

[icsos]

You know little about Vale. I wonder why could you ever imagine Vale would sabotage others mining companies. If it's the seconds bigest mining co. it's due to serious work and values.

Actually due to the shipment date it's more likelly to belong to EFVM (Vitoria to Minas) railway.

[Hobbytrem]

I am Brazilian, and I wish 1,000 stars for this video!

Congratulations, buddy!

[nsgevo89]

I want to see an export of Class 66 units next!

[CPRRailfan]

at the end they look like the GO Transit colours lol.

[HamiltonOhrailz]

Wow Eric, you've done it again!

[train259]

Look's like someone getting new set of train's for Christmas :)

[dm9150]

LOL!

[iusetano]

Nice catch.

[CSX2665]

Cool.The paint is COOL!!!!!.

[RRYankfan]

i liked the tractor in the beginning

hahe

nice video

[tipdrip215]

the paint scheme those brazilian units reminds me alot of seaboard system for some reason.

[jbrazilian2002]

Very nice!!! here in Brazil we have many American locomotives running w/ B+B trucks

Dash-9W,C30-7 and SD40-2 are some of them.

[jbrazilian2002]

Dash-9w is called BB40-9WM, just search " EFVM 1225+1141(BB40-9WM) " to see it!!

[jbrazilian2002]

The Brazilian C30-7 (ex Burlington Northern) is now called BB33, just search for:

" ALL BB33 " to see some videos about it.

[jbrazilian2002]

The Brazilian SD40-2 w/ B+B trucks is now called BB45-2. You can see a clear video of it here on youtube,just search for: " BB45-2 885 "

[jbrazilian2002]

Very nice!! Brasil has also C30-7 and SD40-2running w/ B+B trucks as well

[MiNameIsNash]

My son love trains (just like me) and I see again this video but I counted 11 locos and 22trucks on 11 flat cars, it's that right?

[DASCO2136]

your correct. The trucks on the flatcars are for the 11 engines in the consist and the reason why they're not riding those is because they're built for a different gauge then the standard gauge in the US. So they're riding on standard US trucks until they reach port where those trucks will be swaped out in exchange for the trucks on the flatcars.

[raridan1]

So if I got the nomenclature right those are like GE ES44AC but with more horsepower, fewer traction motors and more axles? Interesting....very interesting.

[TrainDr101]

They look like Dash-9s.

MW

[DJGENEX71]

Also those units look funny with the 'transfer' bogeys on them!

[CoastStarlight11]

O my gawd!!! Very, Very, Very, hard core!!This is like the catch of the century! 5 stars!

[DJGENEX71]

Dude! That IS a great catch right here! 5***** and Favorite!

[o00o00ozy]

Thanks man! Yeah, they do like kind of funny. But what GE doesn't. ;-)

[DJGENEX71]

That's why they're sending them to another country and not the EMD units! He he!

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome awesome awesome video 5*****

[MiNameIsNash]

Very nice, I see you are in the best route to catch this videos, congratulations...

[FlyBikes089]

great video, Eric!

*add favorite and 5 rating!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

An interesting horn heard on this Es40Dc. This unit really sounds like it was really hustling to get this train moving

[dragonhighlorde]

I love that paint job. Even though I am a true fan of the NS, the Brasilians dont do too bad with theirs.

[nsgevo89]

DANG! Love it! I saw the M.R.S. Logistica units on the Norfolk District for export, I wonder if the VALE units are next! Nice footage!

[nsgevo89]

BTW, did your buddy Hickler90 catch this too? Do you know whether or not this train headed his way? I figured it probably did, since y'all both caught the M.R.S. Logistica export units on the line. I really hope some of these units make it down my way on the Norfolk District sometime

[o00o00ozy]

No I don't think he did. This was early in the morning and I almost did not get it because I had to get going on my way.

[nsgevo89]

At least you got it coming through. I'm sure Zach will be jealous that you got these and he didn't. :)

[CSX6000]

Nice!

[trainutjob]

thats one crap load of engines!
