All is metric gauge also. The brazilian four axles locomotives are yard switcher or those used for short trains were the line contidion don´t accept bigger ones. EFVM has G12 model, made in US in the 50´s, but they are in a very good condition. They are uesed at yard operation only. FCA and ALL also have a good fleet of G12 and they are used to pull trains at main line too. In this case, they use as many units as it necessary. On the Espirito Santo hill of ancient Leopoldina Railway FCA uses 7 or more G12, because the line do not accept C-C locos.

U30C's, C30-7's, SF30C's and C36-7's of BN, ATSF, NS and CSX ancestry have turned up on several Brazilian railroads, including ALL, MRS, EFVM and Ferronorte. EFVM is meter gauge, MRS and Ferronorte are 5'3" gauge, and I'm not sure about ALL. I've noticed that four-axle locomotives are definitely in the minority when it comes to export designs, probably because of the need for lighter axle loads. Maybe our overseas friends can comment further about this. [/quote]
