Train travel in Brazil

Train travel in Brazil
Vitorio- Belo Horizonte: Intercity train services operate on one route, from Vitoria to Belo Horizonte (see map). This train is cheaper and more comfortable than a bus. It leaves daily at 07:00 from Vitoria and 07:30 from belo Horizonte, arriving at its destination around 19:30-20:00. The train has two classes, "Executivo" is the best with AC and aircraft-style seating with a decent amount of legroom, fare R$70 (£25) or Econômica which costs R$46 (£16). There's a restaurant car, although the food does not get good reports. Operated by the most prosperous freight railway in Brazil, the journey is very scenic and it's a pleasant way to spend a day. The train information part of their website is www.vale.com/vale_us/cgi/cgilua.exe/sys/start.htm?infoid=152&sid=66 (the English version appears to omit the train info, so stick with Portuguese and remember that 'preços' is prices and 'horarios' means 'timetables').
