Caldas to Grama route Caldas to Grama route

Length: 16,4 miles (26,3 Km)
Caldas to Grama is a fictional BVE route based on my childhood memories. It's a sequence from my previous Caldas to Boa Vista route. Featuring Brazilian countryside sceneries and rolling stock used in the 70's.
All sceneries were portrayed from the States of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, which were served by Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro (Mogiana Railway Company), which was one of the most important railway companies in the State of Sao Paulo, it served the richest coffee producers of the northeast region. The Mogiana Railway Company was absorbed by FEPASA in 1971 and FERROBAN in 1998. Nowadays all tracks were adapted and updated for heavy train cargo freights. Since then, all passenger services were cut down, as well as the electric traction, built just after the end of World War II. In a few words, all the catenary system (overhead wires, masts, substations) had been completely removed, all electric locos were dismantled, disassembled or even abandoned at several cemetery depots of useless materials around the State.

Caldas a Grama (bitola métrica), foi a minha segunda rota fictícia lançada para o Simulador de Trens BVE, em Maio de 2002.
Já com alguma experiência adquirida na arte de criar objetos e texturas, retratei as regiões rurais encontradas principalmente no Sul do Estado de Minas Gerais e Nordeste do Estado de São Paulo, imagens estas baseadas em minhas memórias de infância dos anos 70, quando eu, em férias escolares, sempre viajava de trem pela saudosa CMEF - Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro, para visitar a minha avó materna, que morava na cidade de São José do Rio Pardo-SP.
Em Caldas to Grama são mostrados os trens usados nas décadas de 70 e 80 (todos os desenhos feitos por mim).
