Tough to call, everybody that I used to know down there is long gone.
Escuintla had the outdoor running shed for the pair and was a slightly larger facility,
but I don't know if there was actually an official base.

FWIW, Escuintla was at Mile 245.1 and Mazatenango was at Mile 312.4
These figures are taken from Barrios at the eastern end of the railroad.
Guatemala City was at Mile 197.4.
