Description

This pic isn't as dramatic as the other one from the same place and in B&W, but I think this good ol' Budd/Mafersa train fits this place too well to just not post this picture.

This one is from the 1400 Series of CPTM and was built in Brazil by Mafersa in the mid-1970s based on the project of the 100 Series, an American train made in the 1950s by The Budd Company and still in operation by this same CPTM as the 1100 Series.

One thing that always amazed me about both these American trains made by Budd and the Mafersa ones made under Budd licence in Brazil is how the stainless steel still shines better than any other trains, including the much newer ones, even after decades of use, abuse, neglect and vandalism. Those guys sure knew how to made a good stainless steel train...
