Na snímku z Cumbre pass pozorujeme postrk nákladního vlaku z přístavu Mejillones do smyčky Prat, kde se postrk odpojí a vypomůže přes sedlo Cumbre opět jinému vlaku zpět do přístavu. Přední část vlaku bude pokračovat na sever do jednoho z dolů, kam odveze svůj náklad.

V roce 2023 přepravila společnost FCAB po železnici 7,1 milionů tun nákladu, z toho přibližně polovinu tvořila přeprava kyseliny sírové (tedy více jak 3 miliony tun této komodity). Kyselina se přepravuje do dolů na severovýchodě Chile a většina jí míří do dolu Chuquicamata (ten leží severně nad městem Calama, v nadmořské výšce 2770 metrů nad mořem). V tom to dole se vyprodukuje přibližně 650 000 tun mědi ročně.

V čele tohoto 28 vozů dlouhého vlaku s kyselinou je nasazena trojice lokomotiv 1422, 1403 a 2404. Všechny z produkce EMD jen s tím rozdílem, že každá z lokomotiv je jiného typu. Lokomotiva FCAB 1422 je typu GR12UM a byla vyrobena v roce 1960, společnost FCAB tuto lokomotivu zakoupila v roce 1988 od bývalé národní Kanadské železnice – Newfoundland (ta byla v provozu na ostrově Newfoundland v letech 1898 až 1988 a měřila 1458 km). Lokomotiva FCAB 1403 je typu GR12U a pochází z roku 1961, vyrobena byla přímo pro tohoto dopravce. Stroj FCAB 2404 je z této trojice nejmladší, pochází z roku 1964 a jedná se o typ GT22CU-3 (přestavěna z GR12) a zakoupena byla od drah z Kolumbie v roce 2005. Na postrku (pro nás na snímku lokomotiva nejblíže) zdatně vypomáhá Progress 3202 (typ GT42AC). Tato lokomotiva je zánovní, vyrobena byla v roce 2018 společností Progress rail a společnost FCAB má k dispozici hned 14 těchto lokomotiv (lokomotivy mají 12 válcový motor s označením 12-710, lokomotiva je 20,3 metrů dlouhá, její maximální rychlost je 100 km/h, a pojme 5000 litrů paliva, její váha je 120 tun, výkon lokomotivy se uvádí 3 207 kW).

In the picture from the Cumbre pass, we can see the push of a freight train from the port of Mejillones to the Prat loop, where the push is disconnected and helps another train back to the port via the Cumbre pass. The front of the train will continue north to one of the mines where it will take its cargo.
In 2023, FCAB transported 7.1 million tons of cargo by rail, approximately half of which was transportation of sulfuric acid (that is, more than 3 million tons of this commodity). The acid is transported to mines in northeastern Chile, and most of it goes to the Chuquicamata mine (which is located north of the city of Calama, at an altitude of 2,770 meters above sea level). Around 650,000 tons of copper are produced annually in that mine.

At the head of this 28-car long acid train is a trio of locomotives 1422, 1403 and 2404. All EMD production, with the only difference being that each of the locomotives is of a different type. Locomotive FCAB 1422 is a GR12UM type and was built in 1960, FCAB purchased this locomotive in 1988 from the former Canadian National Railway - Newfoundland (which operated on the island of Newfoundland from 1898 to 1988 and measured 1458 km). The locomotive FCAB 1403 is of the GR12U type and dates from 1961, it was produced directly for this carrier. FCAB 2404 is the youngest of the trio, it dates from 1964 and is a GT22CU-3 type (converted from a GR12) and was purchased from the railways of Colombia in 2005. locomotive closest to the picture) is ably assisted by Progress 3202 (type GT42AC). This locomotive is brand new, it was manufactured in 2018 by Progress rail and FCAB has 14 of these locomotives at its disposal (the locomotives have a 12-cylinder engine with the designation 12-710, the locomotive is 20.3 meters long, its maximum speed is 100 km/h h, and holds 5,000 liters of fuel, its weight is 120 tons, the traction power of the locomotive is stated to be 3,207 kW).
