FCAB engines 2403, 2406 and 2008 will reach Ascotan summit in a few minutes. In the background you can see the massive 6145 m high volcano "San Pedro", covered by a rather unusual amount of snow.

Yes, there's a train in this picture ;) GR12U 412 is hauling two loads of copper concentrate and empty tank cars on the grade from Montadon to Potrerillos.
