International Railroad Discussion > Rockslide/Washout on the Chile TransandineDate: 02/07/21 08:51 Rockslide/Washout on the Chile Transandine Author: masterphots I thought I'd post a couple of the photos at the same spot where my earlier post showed the damage to the line.
1. Alco 1812W exiting the tunnel where the slide occurred. 7/18/17 The sealed containers replaced the old tubs that carry copper concentrate. 2. GE U13C 1820W about to enter the north end of said tunnel. 12/18/16 This view corresponds to the last photo in my earlier post. Also shows the old tub containers. Edited 2 time(s).

Number two is very nice and looks like a model railroad of my dreams.

If you model it you need to have a fan that nearly blows you off the floor so you have the true experience up there.

BTW, are there model railroad club layouts in Chile? I've neve seen a layout showing the railroads in Chile. masterphots Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > pedrop Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Fantastic photos.

I've never seen or heard of any. We don't really have a model railroad shop either, far as I know. Most modeling here is military stuff as well as RC model airplanes.

I sounds a nice opportunity to open a model railroad store in a big city like Santiago. masterphots Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > pedrop Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Yes, a big scenery needs a high view. > > BTW, are there model railroad club layouts in > > Chile?
