Rede Mineira de Viação
This railroad was the result of the amalgamation of several small railroads that served the south of the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro state, like E.F. Oeste de Minas, Rede Sul Mineira, E.F. Muzambinho and other railways. In 1957
it was merged into the R.F.F.S.A., the Brazilian state-owned railroad network. Now it is part of
Ferrovia Centro Atlântica - F.C.A., the privatized company that took
over the railroads of the central and eastern portion of Brazil.
