Belford Roxo train station and the old Rio d'Ouro Railway
The Belford Roxo station is the last train station in the railway stretch between Pavuna, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, and the Belford Roxo city center, a stretch of the 19th-century Rio d'Ouro Railway which is still used by commuter trains. The Rio d'Ouro Railway was built to assist in the construction of water mains for the city of Rio de Janeiro from springs of Serra do Tinguá, a section of the longer mountain range known as Serra do Mar. The building of this railway was concluded on 1882.
