A G.E. U6B diesel-electric locomotive being used in the catenary maintenance at the Guaianazes station, in the trunk line of the former E.F. Central do Brasil in São Paulo city. These locomotives were built in 1962. Twenty units were exported to Brazil; 15 were destined to E.F. Central do Brasil (#3041 to #3055) and 5 to E.F. Santos a Jundiaí. Photo shot by Alex Elias Ibrahim, from São Paulo SP, in the last days of July 1999; he kindly sent one copy to E.F. Brasil, the first electronic list for discussion about the Brazilian railroads. Info about the locos is courtesy of Jose Emílio de Castro H. Buzelin, from Belo Horizonte, MG.
