Narrow gauge tankcar
| April 17, 2009 12:23PM |
Stored tankcars at Baquedano, Chile on Ferronor. Maybe the biggest tankcars on narrow gauge rails? These cars have been here for many years in the Atacama desert town.
Ferronor has just withdrawn service to Baquedano. These cars used to work across the border to Argentina. Since the c-14 line is closed, no interchange with Argentina. FCAB is still a very busy railroad in Baquedano and is the east/west mainline to the coast at Antofagasta for the meter gauge lines.
