Pastor Valdir Gonçalves, 52, looks at the limits of his house's backyard. Besides him, Vale, the mining company that operates the Carajas mine, constructed a wall that isolates the residents from the Km7 neighborhood from the railroad. All neighbors that lived around Mr Valdir were compensated for their houses, but the Pastor. He is waiting until today for a compensation in his house, which often has to be refurbished because there are many cracked walls due to the impact of the railroad.
