The Cometa (Comet), self-propelled diesel passenger train built in England, photographed probably during the fifties at the Luz station - note the overhead electrification wires! Its motor car can be seen in the foreground. This photo was shot in 1952 by Carlheinz Hahmann and published in the book Brazilian Steam Album, vol. II: Up Over the Hill; this copy was courtesy of Marcello Tálamo, from São Paulo SP.
