Ještě za hluboké tmy vyráží z Calamy dvojice lokomotiv pro soupravu „boxcars“ do blízkých dolů San Salvador, které sem ještě za hluboké noci přivezl jiný vlak z přístavu Antofagasta. Zde v předávacím nádraží v nadmořské výšce 2500 m n.m. vozy zapřáhnou a vyráží s nimi směrem do Bolívie. Vlak postupně nabírá výšku až do sedla Ascotán 3 996 m n.m.

Zde na snímku je vlak zachycen mezi výhybnou Polapi a již zmíněným sedlem Ascotán, kde se též nachází výhybna. V čele vlaku je nasazena „stálá“ dvojice lokomotiv FCAB 2004 a 2003, kterou jsme zde potkávali každý den pravidelně. Jedná se o lokomotivy z produkce Clyde Engineering typu GL26C-2 (australská licenční výroba typu EMD G26), oba stroje byly vyrobeny v roce 1971 a společností FCAB byly zakoupeny v roce 2001 od Australské společnosti Queensland Rail.

Na pozadí obrázku se tyčí mohutný vulkanický komplex tvořen dvěma stratovulkány. Na levé straně se jedná o stratovulkán San Pablo s nejvyšším bodem 6 092 m n.m., na pravé straně o něco vyšší a geologicky mladší souputník stratovulkán San Pedro 6 120 m n.m. Komplex stratovulkánů je tvořen převážně andezitem a dacitem. Z předchozích století je evidováno vícero zpráv o aktivitě tohoto komplexu. V případě vulkánu San Pedro se jedná o aktivní sopku, naopak San Pablo je sopka spící.

A jelikož se jedná o moji 300 fotografie, zde v galerii Flickr. Přikládám ke shlédnutí i hodinové video, které zachycuje provoz několika vlaků během výletu v Chile - youtu.be/2vcPOWpUi3s

EN - Even in the deep darkness, a pair of boxcar locomotives set off from Calama for the nearby mines of San Salvador. Here at the transfer station at an altitude of 2500 m above sea level. hitch the wagons and set off with them in the direction of Bolivia. The train gradually gains height up to the Ascotán saddle 3,996 m above sea level.

Here in the image, the train is caught between the Polapi switch and the already mentioned Ascotán saddle, where the switch is also located. At the head of the train is a "permanent" pair of FCAB 2004 and 2003 locomotives, which we met here regularly every day. These are Clyde Engineering type GL26C-2 locomotives (Australian Licensed EMD G26 type), both built in 1971 and purchased by FCAB in 2001 from Queensland Rail of Australia.

In the background of the picture rises a massive volcanic complex consisting of two stratovolcanoes. On the left side is the San Pablo stratovolcano with the highest point of 6,092 m above sea level, on the right side is the slightly higher and geologically younger companion, the San Pedro stratovolcano 6,120 m above sea level. The complex of stratovolcanoes consists mainly of andesite and dacite. Several reports on the activity of this complex are recorded from previous centuries. San Pedro is an active volcano, while San Pablo is a dormant volcano.

And since these are my 300 photos, here in the Flickr gallery. I am also attaching a one-hour video for viewing, which captures the operation of several trains during the trip in Chile - youtu.be/2vcPOWpUi3s
