The Corcovado Train (Portuguese: Trem do Corcovado) is a rack railway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Cosme Velho to the summit of the Corcovado Mountain at an altitude of 710 m (2,329 ft). The summit is known for its statue of Christ the Redeemer and its views over the city and beaches of Rio.
The line is 3.8 km (2.4 mi) long. It is a 1,000 mm gauge rack railway using the Riggenbach rack system. I took this shot over the shoulder of our driver as we passed a train descending from the mountain. The rolling stock was built by SLM of Winterthur in Switzerland.
There are four trains, each of two cars. Three of them are used simultaneously. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes and departs every 20 minutes, giving a capacity of 540 passengers per hour. Due to this limited capacity the wait at the entry station can be several hours.
The line has been ridden by many famous people, including Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein, Diana, Princess of Wales and myself.

Looking back at the landscape from the viewing platform at the back of the Andean Explorer train as we start our climb into the Andes Mountains.
The historic steam locomotive serial number 350 nowadays called Karoline was built in 1945 and belongs to a series that was developed for the Danish State Railways for use in large marshalling yards. It has belonged to the Geesthacht Museum Railway Association in Germany since 1980. (Photo from my son)
My Father in Law, waiting for us to meet him and go for a train ride at the National Capital Trolley Museum in Colesville, MD.. I think some people though he was a museum prop, he looks like he is the train conductor. I love the way he is dressed .. : )
This is a photo of the weathered surface on a snow plow train engine at the railway museum in Musquodoboit Harbour.
I came to this spot to photograph an industrial scene, which can barely be seen in the background through the heavy fog. Instead I got this shot of a train hauling limestone to a processing plant. Ironically, the industrial site is a place that produces white lime from limestone, and has its own quarry across the road. But I wanted to show the power of these locomotives for 117 pictures in 2017, #76 power/powerful.
The 07.10 South Bank Tees Dock to Boulby Mine empties hauled by 66559 at Hunt Cliff. It was still dark when we set of walking here from Saltburn, and we were met by a brilliant sunrise as we walked round the edge of the cliff as we approached this point, and still enjoyed the early glow as the train passed
Two grain trains meet outside of Browning, MT with the mountains of Glacier National Park in the background.
Here is one of my first pictures with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90. And a first "incident" on film (on the right top corner). I don't know what happened, maybe a little drop of rain, but I love that anomaly and my new camera!
The very first mixed train to run on the ARR in over three decades is highballing north at track speed rolling through the junction at NSS Matanuska (MP 151.4 on the ARR mainline). Three SD70MACs lead a 2300 ft train consisting of 13 coaches (with 120 paying passengers), 7 COFC flats, and 10 loaded tank cars of diesel fuel operating as train 230N, the regular weekly Saturday northbound Aurora passenger train. This definitely isn't the kind of train out of Mixed Train daily that Beebe and Clegg would recognize!
The ARR is exercising an FRA waiver that I spearheaded along with General Road Foreman Bruce Pryke to run mixed trains allowing us to consolidate some traffic and operate as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. The ARR was always an innovator and not afraid to look to the past for solutions to problems in the present....it was a special place to work and I'm honored to have had the chance to lead there for a half dozen years.
