I was recently reviewing my pictures of a 1972 trip over the "Northern Transadino" railway in Argentina. The meter gauge line climbs to almost 14,683 feet above sea level, and traversers over 100 miles of incredibly desolate moonscape. In 1972 the power was still 2-10-2's. This was one of the most exciting rail trips I have ever taken. A few additional pix have been added to my website and can be found here:
