|
James Waite first visited the railway back on 16th September 1977 and these pictures give a flavour of its operation then. There are a number of reports and articles on the Perus-Pirapora Railway on this website if you want to know more:
The Preservation Society (IFPCC) would greatly
appreciate receiving pictures of the railway from visitors who photographed it
before closure. Please send an email to the following address (not a link, you
will have to retype it): More details of the locomotives shown can be found in the list on the linked page above. 2-4-2ST 3 on shed at Gato Preto, in the background are 6 and 17.
2-6-2 6 awaiting repair at Gato Preto
2-4-0 17 receives attention at Gato Preto. Judging by the number of people standing around scratching their heads it must have been causing problems.
2-4-2ST 1 dumped at Gato Preto. It's still there and in much the same state now.
2-4-2ST 3 was later used for shunting in Gato Preto yard.
The dead line at Cajamar. Nearest the camera is 5 "Sao Paulo", the Hohenzollern 0-4-0T, then Krauss 0-6-0T 6 and 2-6-0 13.
5's name and works plate (left two) and the works plate from 2-6-2T 9.
The de-engined railbus in the dead line at Cajamar.
OK 0-4-2T 8 on its plinth outside the manager's office at Cajamar. (Today it's back in action at Corredor.)
