Hi, some updated pics of my railfaning trips along broad gauge MRS railroad.
Here are some pics taken last friday 24/8 on Centro line in Carandai, MG. That is a
line for empty ores and some freights. All trains moves westbound only.
The "sunshades" remind me of those installed on Baldwin cab units that were shipped to Argentina from the US from 1953-54. I have not seen any of these sunshades in your more recent videos and photos. Has their use been discontinued?
The sunshades have been applyed to the AC44is only, but a few C44s also received them.
Actually, these sunshades are a protection to the windshields from ore stones during the loading process in some silos where windshilds were broken.
I have two new videos where the AC44 s have sunshades. Soon I will post them in youtube.
