About this work

Three FCAB engines with a "bucket train" crossing the Salar de Ascotan (salt lake Ascotan) on their journey from Calama to Ollagüe (at the Bolivian border), Chile. The buckets are probably empty; they are used to transport ore from Bolivia to the ports of Chile. The engines are EMD GR12 2402, EMD/Clyde GL26C-2 2010 and EMD/Clyde GL26C-2 2005. In the background you can see the 5846 m high stratovolcano "Cerro del Azufre".
