Museo Ferroviario de Baquedano (Chile)
|
On our journey from San Pedro to Antofagasta we passed the small town Baquedano about 90km northeast of Antofagasta. Here, the railway lines Ferrocaril de Antofagasta (FCAB) that leads from Antofagasta towards Bolivia cross with the Ferronor route, which runs parallel to the ocean coming from the south and reaches at Iquique the Pacific. In the otherwise inconspicuous place there is a railway museum, which is freely accessible. Although a little hard to find as not explicitly signposted, here are some old English steam locomotives in a locomotive shed with turntable. The environment looks as if the staff had just left everything on the premises after closing down. |
