To the Evangelista Station!

The Evangelista de Souza station, as seen by the crew of a G.E. Dash-9 diesel-electric locomotive that is heading a Mayrink-bound freight train. The name of this station is an hommage to the great pioneer of the Brazilian Railroads, Irineu Evangelista de Souza, o Barão de Mauá. Here begins the Planalto ("Highlands"); the Serra do Mar is over. Note, at the right, a sugar train waiting for authorization to begin to ride down the Serra do Mar. Photo shot in October 19, 2002 by Antonio Augusto Gorni, from São Vicente SP.
