AREEIRO (caixa de areia)
Depósito de areia nas locomotivas, dos quais a areia é lançada sobre os trilhos para aumentar o coeficiente de aderência das rodas sobre eles, evitando a patinação

A Sandbox is a container on most locomotives and self propelled multiple units, or trams, (a type of train that runs on roads) that run on tramways and adhesion railways. The container holds sand, which can be dropped on to the rail to improve rail adhesion under very wet or steep conditions.
