@CheckEngine99 Me opongo muy fuertemente a esa sugerencia, yo vine verle país, gozo de la hospitalidad y de sus locomotoras de vapor.

Gracias por este video. Regresa el mundo mágico de la infancia con él. Los abuelos...las vacaciones en Bariloche y ese ritual del ferrocarril que desde SAO veíamos pasar detrás de la marea, camino a San Carlos de Bariloche...con lo que el mundo se hacía infinito, en esa Patagonia, también infinita, tan íntegra como su gente de trabajo...fue una Argentina imborrable gracias al ferrocarril y a los pioneros, fueran de la nacionalidad que fueren,tan inclusiva como fue mi patria.

[ralph5407]

Gracias por usted las palabras buenas, tenía un día de fiesta muy agradable en la Argentina y miro adelante a la vuelta una cierta hora pronto

En que mal estado están esas vías! seguro que no las arreglan desde que compraron la locomotora en 1912

En las condiciones que esta nuesta querida argentina estoy sorprendido que estan haciendo andar esta pobrecita locomotora tan antigua. I adonde encontraron el dinero.

What railway is it and is it still going (Jul 08)?

Did you do Tren a las nubes?! I missed the tourist train but got a freight train up instead. Even better experience, I was in the cab most of the way up and down.

[ralph5407]

The is a 75cm line that runs in Southern Argentina towards the border with Chile, from Enginero Jacobacchi down to Esquel, a distance of about 250 miles.

As far as I kinow it still runs as required for tour companies etc. Check the web sites for the Railway Touring Company and Ffestiniog Travel, both do tours to Chile and Argentina.

No my friend the gauge is 1.676 mm. The tracks are old F.C.S. The mail line to Buenos Aires.

The engine is British, of course. North Brithis is the builder, I think...

[ralph5407]

Yes the Bariloche line is 1.676 or 5 foot 6inches in English, but the line to Esquel is the narrow gauge 75cm or 2foot 6 inches isn't it.

if you like you can see me video "nieve en Tablada". About the unusual snowfall of July, 2007 in Buenos Aires. Where it was not snowing from 1918.

[ralph5407]

I had seen the snow on the mountains when I was there in November but I did not know it ever snowed in Bariloche..

[psycrow92]

he is talking about the snow in buenos aires, snowing in bariloche is normal, but in bs as it isn't, it was the first time since 1918, i saw snow for the first time in my whole life :') hahah
