In transit KCS Mexico
Author: jmt

Looks like a 3' gauge loco for Perurail in transit with KCS Mexico (on transfer bogies)

May have originated with Locomotoras San Louis, who rebuilt Perurail G12C (500/510/520) out of G12 cores

Can anyone positivly ID rebuilder, or has sighted photos of the move in Mexico?

I thought that Peru was mostly STD gauge. Look like SP style flexicoil trucks.

Numbers 500/510/520 are all 3' gauge Mexican rebuilds

Used for the tourist trains Cusco-Machu Picchu

This is 500 in Mexico on SG transfer bogies August 2008
