A Day Trip and Derailment on the Serra Verde Express

We decided to take this train as it is a very famous scenic route from Curitiba to the coast clinging to cliffs, crossing bridges through the rainforest.


Well we had rain, however, the was not the main detraction, the train derailed, look carefully at the wheels in this pic. No one was hurt, and they attached a train to the other end and hauled us back to Curitiba. Upon arrival without quibble all monies were refunded.


They did serve lunch in this dinky box.

This is a local news crew who interviewed passengers upon our return.


These are the workmen who tried to get us going again, note the cool hard hat on backwards.
