Buried locomotives and other railway equipment uncovered in Brazil.

Hi all,
I’ve not noticed it brought up anywhere, but apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere in the forums.

I was having a little YouTube binge recently and stumbled across these videos documenting the discovery during groundworks, of what appear to be buried locomotives in São Paulo.

Interesting channel generally and lots of vintage British equipment featured! The latter videos are also auto dubbed in English which makes it a little easier to follow the thread of it all.

Thought some of you may find it interesting, I do hope the equipment discovered has a happy future, from the update video it sounds like the recommendation is currently to leave it buried in situ until such time as a suitable body can be found to take proper care of the artefacts, which is sensible, but it would be a shame if it were all covered up never to see the light of day again.

I think I caught a glimpse of 'Lew' in the background...

 

Haha, ah yes that Brazilian mystery,
must be very fertile ground for it to have grown so large over the intervening years..
