Po dosednutí našeho letadla na letišti Calama a následného zapůjčení automobilu, jsme vyzbrojeni základními informacemi vyrazili neprodleně za dobrodružstvím Chilské železnice. Po ujetí 175 kilometrů směrem k Bolivijské hranici jsme se dostali k solné pláni – Salar de Carcote, kde jsme si všimli prvního vlaku, který směřoval z vnitrozemí do Bolívie. Po jeho zastavení ve výhybně San Martin, jsme usoudili, že jede vlak proti. Neváhali jsme a zdokumentovali jsme tento stojící vlak v čele se stroji FCAB 2005 + 2407 a 2405. Po nějakém čase, se v dáli solné pláně objevil vlak z Bolívie v čele se stroji FCAB 2003 + 2004. Oba nákladní vlaky převážely tzv. Box-Cary. My jsme se rozhodli o odfocení obou vlaků ve výhybně a následovat tento vlak do vnitrozemí.

Pláň Salar de Carcote (nebo také Saler de San Martín) se nachází v nadmořské výšce 3 690 m n.m., rozkládá se na ploše 108 km2. Salar je pozůstatkem starověkého jezera, dnes se v salaru nachází pouze několik malých jezírek. Jeho krajině dominují sopky Ollagüe na východě a Aucanquilcha na severu. Právě stratovulkán Ollagüe s nadmořskou výškou 5 868 m n.m. se nachází na snímku v pravé části, sopka se nachází na hranicích Chile a Bolívie. Z historie však není doložena její aktivita, ale je nadále vedena jako aktivní.

V čele vlaku jedoucí již zmíněné stroje FCAB 2003 a 2004, jsme následně potkávali den co den. 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 snímku z 6. listopadu 2022, který jsem se rozhodl publikovat, jsou do sebe oba vlaky takřka „zaklesnuty“ a konec vlaku stojícího na vzdálenější koleji končí v dýmu lokomotiv FCAB 2003 + 2004. V pozadí na levé straně se nachází také již zmíněná trojice lokomotiv FCAB a částečně zabraný Salar de Carcote.

After landing our plane at the Calama airport and subsequently renting a car, armed with basic information we set off immediately for the adventure of the Chilean railway. After driving 175 kilometers towards the Bolivian border, we reached the salt flat – Salar de Carcote, where we noticed the first train heading inland to Bolivia. After it stopped at the San Martin switch, we assumed that the train was going against it. We didn't hesitate and documented this stationary train led by FCAB 2005 + 2407 and 2405. After some time, a train from Bolivia appeared in the far salt plain led by FCAB 2003 + 2004. Both freight trains carried so-called Box-Cary . We decided to take pictures of both trains in the switchyard and follow this train inland.

The Salar de Carcote plain (or Saler de San Martín) is located at an altitude of 3,690 m above sea level, and covers an area of 108 km2. The Salar is a remnant of an ancient lake, today only a few small lakes are found in the Salar. Its landscape is dominated by the volcanoes Ollagüe in the east and Aucanquilcha in the north. It is the Ollagüe stratovolcano with an altitude of 5,868 m above sea level. is located in the right part of the picture, the volcano is located on the border of Chile and Bolivia. However, its activity is not documented in history, but it is still listed as active.

At the head of the train, the already mentioned FCAB 2003 and 2004 machines, we subsequently met 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 picture from November 6, 2022, which I decided to publish, the two trains are almost "sunk" into each other, and the end of the train standing on the further track ends in the smoke of the locomotives FCAB 2003 + 2004. In the background on the left side, there is also the already mentioned trio FCAB locomotives and the partially occupied Salar de Carcote.
