Abandoned roundhouse and turntable, Germany In 1842 the first boiler house was built, 1857 several workshops followed, 1865 the first and 1875 the second roundhouse, finally 1895 a third one. The latter is the only one, which can still be seen, in a very bad condition. Abandoned since 2001.

Railway bridge across Rio Rosario near Ruta 51 from Salta to San Antonio de los Cobres. The railway is called "Tren de las nubes" (train to the clouds) and leads up to an elevation of 4220 m at the Polvorilla viaduct. The railroad was built in 1948 (construction started in 1921!) with a length of 217 km nowerdays. The Train to the Clouds originally left from Salta, and even left from Salta for a while as a tourist attraction too. It was 573 km in its earlier days, and joined Salta and Socompa pass in Chile. But after years of repairs and a few accidents, the train now leaves from San Antonio de Los Cobres only. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

see PiP's for variants....... La Trochita, (El Viejo Expreso Patagónico), in English known as the Old Patagonian Express, is a 750 mm narrow gauge railway in Patagonia, Argentina using steam locomotives. The nickname La Trochita means literally "The Little Narrow Gauge" in Spanish. It is 402 km in length and runs through the foothills of the Andes between Esquel and El Maiten in Chubut Province and Ingeniero Jacobacci in Río Negro Province, originally it was part of Ferrocarriles Patagónicos, a network of railways in southern Argentina. Nowadays, with its original character largely unchanged, it operates as a heritage railway and was made internationally famous by the 1978 Paul Theroux book The Old Patagonian Express, which described it as the railway almost at the end of the world. read details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Trochita http://www.latrochita.org.ar

better on black! The Malleco Viaduct (Spanish: Viaducto del Malleco) is a railway bridge in central Chile, passing over the Malleco River valley in the Araucania Region. It was opened in 1890. At that time it was the highest such bridge in the world. A myth claims that the bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel made a bridge proposal, but it was rejected by the Chilean authorities. It was designed by Aurilio Lasterria and the manufacture of the bridge was awarded to Schneider et Cie. O Le Creusot, another French company.
