One of the first photos of the electric trains at E.F. Corcovado, probably shot in 1909 or 1910 by Augusto Malta. Apparently it was took at the Curva do Oh! (the "Oh! Curve"). This curve of the rack railway, very near to the Corcovado terminal station, in the top of the mountain, has this name due to the marvelled reactions of the train passengers as they have a really very beautiful view of Rio de Janeiro from that point...
