Remarks & Notes

One of SQMs boxcabs hauls a load of nitrate down to Tocopilla, which you can see in the background. In about a kilometer, the train will arrive at the reverso switchback, where they need to run the locomotive around the train.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
