*******GUAIANAZES TO ESTUDANTES; VERSION 3.0 FOR OPEN BVE ONLY*******

Length 29.5 Km, broad gauge 

This Brazilian route is based on the real thing, the commuter line
named as no. 11 from CPTM (Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos), which 
is used by low-budget workers on their way work and vice-versa, from
Mondays to Saturdays. The line serves the eastern part of the huge 
São Paulo metropolitan area, one of the most populous in the city. 

About the rolling stock used:
-EMU's made in the USA, Brazil and Portugal, in the 70's, 
always in a 6 car-set formation (3 + 3), being powered by a
3 Kv DC catenary system built in the 1940's. 

All 3-D objects were re-drawn with all the 4 faces possible, so this
route is fully optimized to be used in Open BVE, where you could even
ride this route backwards, without any view losings and errors.

All the .B3D files that contain my name inside are copyrighted, you
should ask permission first to use them in your own route.
