GE ES43BBi No. 644 as DPU – Ortigueira, Brazil

On April 6, 2025, Rumo Logística’s GE ES43BBi No. 644 is seen working as a distributed power unit (DPU) at the rear of a long southbound freight train, crossing the rural Monjolinho road in Ortigueira, Paraná.

 

As the train rolls through the lush landscape of the Campos Gerais region, a horse-drawn cart waits patiently at the grade crossing—a striking contrast between modern rail technology and the traditional rural life that still endures in southern Brazil.
