Until it closed in 1983, there was a 2-foot-6-inch-gauge system some 250 miles north of Rio de Janeiro known as the VFCO (Via??o F?rrea Centro-Oeste). At one point the railway's route exceeded 450 miles, but by 1981 it had shrunk to about 130, based in the town of Sao Joao del Rei.
The big draw for the steam enthusiast was a gorgeous fleet of Baldwin 4-4-0s, 2-8-0s, and 4-6-0s with painted smokeboxes and polished brass. Nos. 55 and 69, photographed at S?o Jo?o sheds in November 1981, were 2-8-0s built in 1892 and 1894, respectively.
