	An April 1976 view of the EFCJ depot and yards at the south end of the line in Pindamonhangaba [see map]. View is west. The passenger station is behind me. Trains for Campos do Jordão go through the yard and around the right (north) side of the depot. [AM]
	An April 1994 view of the EFCJ depot and yards at the north end of the line in Campos do Jordão. This is Emílio Ribas station. German tram A-5 loads on the right. A-6 idles near the garage. Brazilian interurban A-4 prepares to load on its platform in the center. [AM]
	Freight motor V-2 and open excursion cars leaving Emílio Ribas for Santo Antônio do Pinhal in September 1986 [see map]. There is a closeup of this locomotive on the page featuring English and Brazilian cars. [AM]
	The excursion train viewed from the north side of the tracks and a short distance down the line. An impatient MAN tram follows. [AM]
	The rear of the excursion train. September 1986. [AM]
	English freight motor V-2 and German passenger tram A-6 pass at Abernéssia station in September 1986 [see map]. This is the only place in Campos do Jordão where EFCJ cars can pass. [AM]
	At the west end of town, the railway runs down the center of Av. Januário Miráglia. This photograph was taken in 1994. [AM]
	A tram approaches one of the simple platform stations between Emílio Ribas and Abernéssia. [AM]
	Telephoto view near Abernéssia [see map], July 1979. [AM]
	Southwest of Campos do Jordão, the line enters a hilly, rural area. April 1976. [AM]
	A curve near São Cristóvão station in April 1976 [see map]. Not long after this picture was taken, the automobile road in the background was widened and became a major highway, SP-123. Its inauguration in 1978 threatened the existence of the EFCJ. Luckily, in part due to the interest of railway enthusiasts, the line was preserved and it thrives today. [AM]
	An "S" curve in a cut just north of São Cristóvão, April 1976. [AM]
	Another view of the "S" curve. The buildings in the distance belong to a tuberculosis sanitarium. [AM]
	São Cristóvão station, terminus of the urban line worked by the three German trams. This station is 8 km from Emílio Ribas and 39 km from Pindamonhangaba [see map]. April 1976. [AM]
	An interurban car traveling south of São Cristóvão, en route to Pindamonhangaba [see map]. [AM]
	The mountain section of the interurban line, near Santo Antônio do Pinhal [see map]. The author took this picture by leaning out the window of Brazilian-built interurban A-4, as it was descending the escarpment, in April 1976. Note sagging overhead wire! (Both wire and track are in better condition today.) [AM]
	One of the original gasoline-powered trams, built by Mercedes in Germany, that opened the EFCJ in 1914. It is now displayed on Morro do Elefante (Elephant Hill), alt. 1,800 m, near Emílio Ribas station. [AM]
	A steam locomotive that pulls passenger coaches around the Campos do Jordão area during the tourist season. Photographed at Emílio Ribas depot in April 1994. [AM]
