RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazilian mining company Vale said on Tuesday that its most important railway, used to transport iron-ore from its Carajas mine in the Amazon, stopped operating for over 12 hours on Monday due to a land protest on the line.

Operations were interrupted between 6:30 am and 6:50 pm local time, the company said, adding that the cargo railway had resumed operations. Vale did not say whether production was affected.
