A few photos from a work assignement on the Cuzco - Machu Picchu narrow gage line inspecting NG track...
1. the luxury "Hirm Bingham" first class tourist train. If you want to travel in NG luxury, this $500 RT trip gets you first class treatment all the way.
2. Yes, that is a real VW van converted to a track inspection vehicle.
3. Switchbacks one of several on the route
