International Railroad Discussion > EFE Chile vintage train to grape harvest

Last Sunday EFE ran a vintage train to a vidimia (grape harvest fiesta) at a winery in Moilina, about 125 miles south of Santiago. The 200 passengers were bussed from the station to the nearby winery.

I was going south for a family gathering anyway so stopped at Molina for the train's arrival.  I also discovered a big sawmill and timber loadout across from the station.  Here's a photo of the winery train arriving behind GE-Alco No. 16005,  as well as SDL39 2342 (former Milwaukee/WC #585)  with a log train.  The timber will be used to make cellulose.  Most all is harvested from alamo tree farms.
