Pedro Rezende General This is a surprise to me. How many GP38 Vale bought in Canada? Are they coming to Brazil or will be sent to the coal mines in Africa? 8/4/2010 7:29:23 PM
Gregory L. Smith General I expect that this is one of 8 GP38's that Vale acquired with their purchase of INCo, and they will continue to be used on Vale trackage among the Nickel/Copper mines and refineries in the Sudbury, Canada region. 8/4/2010 10:25:37 PM
Pedro Rezende General How many miles does it have the railroad owned by Vale there in Sudbury? Do you have more photos of this engine? 8/5/2010 2:29:35 PM
Gregg Bartley General Looks as if it has a color coded light system on the roof of the cab. Or else it's Christmas time. 8/5/2010 2:44:52 PM
Pedro Rezende General It means it is a remote controled unit, like all that work on steel plants. 8/5/2010 6:19:05 PM
