This came through on my steam news rss feed. Once you get past the annoying pop up ad the article is pretty interesting. This is on my to-do list for sure.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

I'd do it sooner than later. While the short & spectacular segment from Esquel to Nahuel Pan has trains a couple days a week, the rest of the 251 mile line has virtually no traffic. I've been there several times & it's always an adventure. Derailments & having the locos run out of fuel in the middle of the vast Patagonia are just two of the adventures.

Those Baldwin mikes are certainly sweet little locomotives.

Best Regards,

Last I heard 3 Baldwins are servicable. None of the Henschels, though.
