    Every day, tens of thousands of stories pass through our trains

    Operating over 2,000 kilometers of railroad network, we operate two passenger trains and one tourist train.

    We want a Brazil free of human trafficking, don't you? Vale is engaged in this fight. Watch the content about the theme and be aware of possible signs during journeys on our Passenger Trains.

    How does the Passenger train work?

    Vitória-Minas Railroad

    Every day, at 7 am, a train departs from Cariacica, in the metropolitan region of Vitória, Espírito Santo, bound for Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, arriving around 8:30 pm. At the same time, a train leaves the capital of Minas Gerais at 7 am and ends the trip at 8:30 pm, in Cariacica.

    There is also an additional train that runs between Itabira and Nova Era, both in Minas Gerais. On the train, there is a railroad car that works as a snack bar, another for a restaurant, an exclusive car for wheelchair users, air conditioning and on-board service.

    Vale Tourist Train

    How about taking a trip aboard a train that is the result of the revitalization of an old railroad built in 1883?

    From 2004 to 2006, Vale revitalized the old 18 km long railroad built in 1883, between Ouro Preto and Mariana. Today, the train consists of 6 passenger railroad cars and keeps the same design as the old one, with wooden interiors. Through its transparent structure, passengers can have a full view of the landscapes along the way in a beautiful journey through time. 

    In Mariana, you can also visit Loco 201, which is exposed next to the Railroad Station. It was manufactured by Skoda in 1949 and ran at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour (km/h). 

    At Ouro Preto Station, another locomotive is on display: the Brigardier, also known as Máquina 3. Built in Germany and used for military work during the First World War, it was later bought by the Brazilian government and used to transport loads from potteries and quarries.
