Watering the giants
The coal carrying Teresa Cristina Railway in southern Brazil had an exciting roster of American built locomotives, including Mallets and the world’s last Texan type 2-10-4s – American steam super-power scaled down to metre gauge operation. Here, one of the railway’s Baldwin built Mikados resides amid the smoky gloom of the motive power depot in Tubarao. December 1978.
