48 Minutes - a photo on Flickriver

48 Minutes

            A stunning 48 minutes after sunset, brilliant colors still linger in the dusty desert air as Ferrenor 841 acid tanks climb the loops towards Escondida Mine. Ferrenor took the BHP contract from FCAB a few months ago and ordered 12 brand new EMD GT38ACs to handle the traffic. We got a tour of the 2009 during 841's stopover in Augusta Victoria 

We are nearly 3000 meters in elevation on the Socampa Branch, a jointly operated Ferrenor/FCAB rail line between Antofagasta and the Argentinian border. FCAB owns the section between the coast and the staging yard at Augusta Victoria and Ferrenor owns the section east of there to the mines. Each exercises trackage rights on the other's portion. Traffic has not run east of the mines in years, but the track remains in place all the way to the Argentinan border—snaking through some of the most remote and rugged territory of the Upper Atacama.
