Thanks for that, I drove the Dulce to Arboles myself in 2014, the road was a little rough (no worse than roads here in Australia) but very enjoyable, that would have been a great section to ride in a train in it's day, it's great to see all the bridges still in place, gives you that warm feeling of still being connected to the trains that ran thru there, well it did to me!
