An 1896 Baldwin 4-6-0 in mixed train service in El Salvador, 1971

Now that I have finally acquired a slide scanner, I have started looking at slides that have not seen the light of day for many years. So here are four slides from my March 1971 trip to Guatemala and El Salvador led by John West. While I mainly took movies on this trip, I also took along some slide film. So here is 1896 Baldwin tenwheeler # 8 on the San Salvador - Santa Ana mixed train
Here engine 8 is meeting a freight headed by 2-8-0 number 109. That "standpipe" next to the cab of engine 8 seems to have a pretty good leak. In 1971 the FES was in a pretty amazing time warp.
