Locomotives and trains in general are amazing!! Its just unbelieve how 2 locomotives can haul over fifteen locomotives and their trucks effortlessly!

I'm so glad to see the new locomotives on the way to Brazil and take a look the flags. Very very nice indeed!

For those wondering, the locomotives are GE BB40-9WMs. They’re identical to the classic North American Dash-9 (C40-9W), except that they’re fitted with a different wheel arrangement. These dash-9s have a B+B-B+B (4 trucks, 2 on each side, each truck with 2 powered axels, 8 axels total) wheel arrangement, which is made for Brazil’s narrow 1 meter (3 ft 3-3/8 in) gauge railways. The North American Dash-9s use a C-C (2 trucks, one on each side, each truck has 3 powered axels, 6 axels total) wheel arrangement, and standard track width in North America is 4 ft 8-1/2 inches. It’s cool that GE still makes the dash-9, but only for export. It can no longer be made for the US market as it doesn’t meet the EPA’s tier 4 emission standards. EMD did this with the SD70ACe, which also can no longer be made for the US market with its T3 engine. It’s now exported to Brazil as the SD70ACe-bb with the B+B-B+B wheel arrangement. This is hands down one of the coolest catches I’ve seen. Those big ass CAT 992K loaders were cool too. They’re close to some of the biggest loaders in the world!

Thank you for posting this excelent video. That is a good example of how a Latin American country could keep on working with US locomotive engines. I hope my country as Argentina could do the same.

That had to be the coolest train I've ever seen.

Pretty neat. Reminds me of the time I came across a whole train of wind turbine components running from Nashville to Memphis. Too bad I didn't have a video camera with me. The Caterpillar wheel loaders were built at the plant I worked at, Aurora IL, though most of their output was sent by truck...guessing that they liked paying extra for shipping or something. Not much there now, most of the production was sent to Mexico, with only final assembly in a new plant in Texas. The track dozers were built in Peoria.
