A video that allows you to experience a journey through beautiful nature and railways in approximately 50 minutes. - Title: Natureza Sobre Trilhos - Language: Portuguese - Content: Curitiba-Paranaguá Railway - Time: Approximately 50 minutes - Format: NTSC This is a 116-kilometer railway line connecting Curitiba, the capital of the state of Paraná in southwestern Brazil, to the port of Paranaguá. It opened in 1880. Curitiba is located on a plateau at 934 meters above sea level, where crops such as coffee and soybeans are cultivated, and this railway is used for shipping them from Paranaguá. The railway between Curitiba and Paranaguá passes through deep mountain ranges, and the construction was extremely difficult. Tunnels were dug by hand, which was a very arduous task. By the way, the track gauge is 1000mm (meter gauge). There is a town called Morretes along the way, where the train stops for a break. Many passengers also disembark here. This video explains its history and the scenery along the way. Although it is in Portuguese, which may be difficult to understand, you should be able to understand most of it by watching the images. The construction of this railway was completed in 1880 after overcoming many difficulties. The nickname of this railway is Serra Verde Express (Green Mountain Range Express). Freight trains are operated by ALL (America Latina Logística S.A.). Passenger trains run on holidays, taking about 3 hours to travel between Curitiba and Paranaguá. There are many thrilling locations along the way, and this video captures many of those scenes. This video was purchased on the train. In addition, the state of Paraná has a sister city agreement with Hyogo Prefecture, Curitiba with Himeji City, Londrina with Nishinomiya City, and Maringá with Kakogawa City. The title of the video is Natureza Sobre Trilhos, which translates to "Nature on Rails," but it means that the train runs through the great nature. Also, if you are studying Portuguese or are interested in Brazil, please consider it. Considering the deterioration of the tape, a DVD converted disc will be attached if you wish. Thank you for watching.
