FCAB Chile in February
Author: masterphots

Here are some odds n' ends of FCAB, all taken in February 17-19, 2025

1. NF210 1420W at Los Vientos siding, close to the port of Mejillones. On the other side of the low ridge is the Pacific Ocean.
2-3 GE C23-EMP 2604W arrives at Cumbre for a crew change. Ahead is the six to eight hour slog to Calama with the empty tank cars. Some will be dropped off en route.

Photo 3 really shows the overhang of the frame, forward of the front truck, on C23-EMP 2604.
