Remarks & Notes

Last glint of another great day on the Esquel Branch. The track sees very little use and tough desert grasses over the rails caused a lot of traction issues. We spread sand from the ballast to no avail, finally a car was dropped and the loco struggled upgrade to the location at the last moment. Henschel 30" guage mikado.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
