Hi, today I found rail train C199 here in town. Locomotives BB40-9W 1167 and 1295 were in the traction of it. Here we see them waiting licence to proceed to EWL yard.

That is dual gauge track. What gauge is the train riding on and what gauge is the wider track?
The train is meter gauge (1,000mm). The other track is broad gauge (1,600mm)
Brazil is mostly meter gauge and 5ft 3in broad gauge. I think there is a little standard gauge commuter light rail, and 30 inch gauge preserved track.

Yes, and we have a standard gauge shortline in the north. It has 200 km of tracks. It is out of service now. It has sw1200, sw1500 and c30-7's.
