Great catch, LucasMR. Also, are those two track metrics (forget the exact title) cars "bookending" the boxcar immediately behind the locomotives? If so, I've never seen a picture with two such cars in the same train, let alone seen such a sight in person.

Hi Kurt, thanks for the comments! The two "madrinha" cars separated by a boxcar is a uncommon consist. It´s the first time I catch two of these special cars in a same train. This is a power transfer with four locomotives. Two of them are trailing. When this train arrives at Santos harbour, the EMD locomotives will return with an empty train. So, one "madrinha" car will be decoupled and return with the EMD locomotives in another consist.
