The tourist Train operates to Zipaquira where the loco is serviced and turned on a wye. Then the train returns a few Kms. south to La Caqica another tourist destination. Passenger can leave at Zipaquira and return to the train at la Caqica before returning to Bogota. The train stops at Usaquen and terminates at La Sabana stations.Two photos of locomotive #72 from cab and at watertank near wye. This a half Km from Zipaquira. Then train with loco reversed south at Zipaquira station. The station is now the local library.
