    Vale Tourist Train

    How about taking a trip aboard a train that is the result of the revitalization of an old railroad built in 1883? From 2004 to 2006, Vale revitalized the old 18 km long railroad built in 1883, between Ouro Preto and Mariana.

    Today, the train consists of 6 passenger railroad cars and keeps the same design as the old one, with wooden interiors. Through its transparent structure, passengers can have a full view of the landscapes along the way in a beautiful journey through time.
    In Mariana, you can also visit Loco 201, which is exposed next to the Railroad Station. It was manufactured by Skoda in 1949 and ran at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour (km/h). At Ouro Preto Station, another locomotive is on display: the Brigardier, also known as Máquina 3. Built in Germany and used for military work during the First World War, it was later bought by the Brazilian government and used to transport loads from potteries and quarries.
