FCAB lead ore train at Cumbre

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Three FCAB units GT22CU 2405, 2401 and GL26C 2005 haul a lead ore train from the San Cristobal mine in Bolivia to Mejillones, Chile. The train has just reached the summit (cumbre) of the small pass between Prat and Mejillones. Visible in the photo is the old wye, which was probably needed to turn around bank engines back when the railway was using 762mm gauge.
Deutsch: Drei FCAB-Loks GT22CU 2405, 2401 und GL26C 2005 ziehen einen Bleierzzug von der San Cristobal-Mine in Bolivien nach Mejillones, Chile. Der Zug hat soeben die Passhöhe (Cumbre) des kleinen Passes zwischen Prat und Mejillones erreicht. Sichtbar ist das ehemalige Gleisdreieck, welches vermutlich zum Abdrehen von Dampflokomotiven benutzt wurde als die Strecke noch 762mm Spurweite verwendete.
