Dear brothers and sisters-in-rails,

My first railroad postcard is finished. Title in Portuguese reads \"Railway workmen's life in Linha Auxiliar\" and postcard intends to depict the day-by-day of railway workers at Linha Auxiliar, a railroad which crosses many favelas (shanty-towns) in suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Cartoon was based on true incident, when drug traffickers from Comando Vermelho (C.V) stopped a repairment railcar and forced workers to take them from a favela to another.

My intention is, at same time, to bring tradition of railroad postcards back, very common in the beggining of century 20, as well as to make a registration of troubled times in Rio de Janeiro city and Brazil.

If you are interested to get a copy free-of-charge, please, write to my email latuff@uninet.com.br<\/a> informing your name and complete address.

Hope you like!

Thank you very much!<\/p>\n","contact":"latuff@uninet.com.br","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"My first railroad postcard is finished!","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/09\/80805.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
