Located in Ipojuca, Pernambuco, the Usina Salgado produced sugar cane when they bought this eight-coupled plantation tank. At the time their railway covered 45 km (28 miles), operated five locomotives and eight cars. 500 tonnes (561 tons) of sugar cane or 6,000 litres (1,585 US gallons) of alcohol were processed in 22 hours.
