Riding the line

Buy a reserved ticket through Vale and carry the identification used for the booking. These are named intercity tickets rather than contactless bank-card urban fares. Executive and economy classes have different prices, and busy holiday departures can sell out.

Current rolling stock and ride conditions: Long locomotive-hauled trains provide seated cars, accessible space, air-conditioning, toilets, and food service. The Carajás journey takes about 16 hours, while the full Vitória–Minas trip takes about 13 and a half hours.

Desembargador Drummond is marked as an interchange in the network data. Pedro Nolasco is in Cariacica rather than central Vitória. The Belo Horizonte terminal is separate from the city metro. At Desembargador Drummond in Nova Era, the Itabira train connects with the main Vitória–Minas corridor.

Accessibility: Vale provides a wheelchair car and assistance, but several intermediate stops are basic platforms. Arrange help in advance and confirm which station entrance is used.

The Vitória–Minas train runs daily in both directions. The Carajás train leaves São Luís on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, then returns from Parauapebas on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. Check the dated Vale notice before building a connection around it.
