Ecuador Earthquake
Author: andersonb109

There are reports of a severe earthquake....this time in Ecuador. Damage looks extensive and Quito is near the epicenter of the quake. And a bridge is reported down in Guayaquil. Millions were spent in the past few years to get this famous line back into service.

Any pics of the railroads tracks after the earthquake? I didn't see in the news in Brazil. Are there railfans in Ecuador that could provide information to us? God bless the people there.
