After the scrapping of the electrification system at the former Companhia Paulista lines, some electric locos were spared at the Presidente Altino maintenance works of C.P.T.M., near São Paulo city. This legendary G.E. V8 locomotive, lodged in alien tracks, was photographed there in August 25, 2000, during an E.F. Brasil raid at these works. The fate of this machine, as well other locos stored there, is uncertain. Let's hope that machine could be included in a Schindler's rail list. This photo was shot by Hermes Yoiti Hinuy, from São Paulo SP.
