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?
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.
