International Railroad Discussion > Frepasa Chile Alco and other actionDate: 03/03/24 04:05 Frepasa Chile Alco and other action Author: masterphots 1. Alco RSD20s 1810E and 1805W meet at Chivilingo beach on 12/14/23. This caught me by surprise so I wasn't in the best position for the photo. Trains are hauling cellulose between the huge Arauco plant and the port at Coronel. Loads are eastbound/empties westbound. The car between the units is for MU, as well as spreading weight.
2. SD40 3303W along the beach at Con Con on 9/27/23. The unit is former BNSF 6922. Train is copper concentrate from the Anglo-American Las Bronces mine on the way to the port at Ventanas for export to Asia. 3. SD39M-2 2352W at same location on 11/16/23. Train also copper concentrate for export from Codelco Andino mine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Date: 03/03/24 14:41 Re: Frepasa Chile Alco and other action Author: Ritzville Very interesting series!!
