Viajando en el tren del fin del mundo en Ushuaia. Argentina.La historia de Ushuaia y el Tren gira en torno de su penal. El ingeniero Catello Muratgia comienza la construcción definitiva de un penal adecuado en el 1902. La cárcel se construye con materiales de la zona, y la mano de obra la constituyen los penados.
Para trasladar los materiales se monta el XILOCARRIL, es decir un tren que circula sobre rieles de madera. A finales de 1909 se registran los primeros movimientos ferroviarios.
Las vías "Decauville" con trocha de 60 centmetros, comienzan a prestar su servicio e inicia su trabajo el "Tren de los Presos". En 1952 el "Tren de los Presos" deja de circular, y con él se disuelve el último vestigio de las rudas voces de aquellos presos que buscaron redimirse consigo mismo ante la tremenda soledad austral. Cuarenta y dos años después de su último servicio, en 1994, el tren más austral del mundo, el "Tren de los Presos", retoma su recorrido histórico.Mas info: http://www.trendelfindelmundo.com.ar
The history of Ushuaia and the Train revolves around the Prison. The engineer Catello Muratgia began definitive construction of an adequate prison in 1902. The prison was built using local materials, and labor was provided by the convicts. For the transport of materials, a XILORAIL was mounted, that is to say, a train which circulates upon wooden rails. At the end of 1909 the first railway movementswere recorded. The "Decauville" rails with a 60 centimeter gauge were put into service and the work of the "Prison Train" began. In 1952 the "Prison Train" was decommissioned and with it the rude voices of those inmates faded away. Forty two years after its last service, in 1994, the southernmost train in the world, the "Prison Train", retakes its historic path.
