What is the railroad that is perpendicular to the Santa Cruz - but not high enough to clear the top of the Santa Cruz?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Hello all ;

Here's a streamliner that wasn't North american, altough it looks perfectly like an 'everyday streamliner', maybe perhaps the locomotive at the point shouldn't be an FA. In this case, it's the 'Santa Cruz' Streamliner, that used to run between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. There was another train like this, called the 'Vera Cruz' that went from rio de Janeiro to Belo Horizonte (there's another difference, over there the gauge is not standard, but broad gauge 1600 mm). All are gone now, but some cars still exist in a sorry state of desrepair.
