Hotel Ferrocarril

The Hotel Ferrocarril in Zacapa, Guatemala was something of a legend among railfans. Trains magazine described staying at the Ferrocarril as "like spending the night in a yard office". It was part of the station complex and overlooked the yard and roundhouse, which in days of yore were busy places with plenty of steam activity. Sometimes it was a bit hard to sleep. I stayed there several times in the 1970's and have put together a small Flickr album about the place. Like so many things I wish I had taken more pictures of things like the mahogany bar, the "rustic" rooms, and so on.
