What's with the 5th engine? Did a Hamersley C36-7 make it to Brazil? (IE, https://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=46613 ) It's got the distinctive flared air intake, and it looks like it's even still green.

Triplex, two came to Brazil, 5057, 5058, the 5th locomotive in the photo is the 5058, actual numbering 3749 operated by MRS. the 5057 today is preserved with a commemorative painting of an old Brazilian railroad (https://www.railpictures.net/photo/748882/) by the Brazilian Association of Railway Preservation.

I had wondered some years ago "I know Minnesota Commercial got one, but what about the other two?" and eventually forgot. So, Brazil turns out to have an even fuller variety of classic GEs than I'd thought.
