Sou do Rio de janeiro. E tenho grande interesse em trabalhar na Profissão de Maquinista de Trem. Não tenho experiência no setor e também nunca tive oportunidade na tela do meu antigo computador tinha uma foto da Locomotiva da RUMO, olhava todos os dias e ficava ali, Viajando em ser um Condutor. Hoje tenho 67 anos e mesmo com esses 67 janeiros me vejo conduzindo com responsabilidade e atenção e treinamento uma Locomotiva nos Trilhos de Minas Gerais.
