Serra Verde train

11/27/2013

0 Comments

 
This train line was completed in 1885 after 5 years of construction. It traverses the Atlantic rainforest of coastal Brazil as it descends
3,000 feet to sea level. With the development of highways and trucking it is no longer required to take grains to the port. Originally
the route extended for 380 miles but now of the original 5 stations there are only 3 active. The ones from Curitiba to the coast through
the rain forest
with the spectacular views as it passes through 15 tunnels and over 30 tressels. It remains open as a major tourist
attraction.
