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?

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.

How many miles does it have the railroad owned by Vale there in Sudbury? Do you have more photos of this engine?

Looks as if it has a color coded light system on the roof of the cab. Or else it's Christmas time.

It means it is a remote controled unit, like all that work on steel plants.
