Nice shot, but I thought I just looked at this, and it didn't have a SC. Is that possible?

Fantastic! The kind of shot I visit this website for.

Congratulations on this great picture of my country, privileged to find as Snowy the San Pedro volcano. It is my duty to tell you something: The FCAB locomotives Series No. "24XX" are not Baldwin, neither are "GL26C-2". These machines have their origin in EMD GR12 locomotives, but were completely rebuilt and renovated by the FCAB. The third engine is a GL26C-2 of Australian origin, although have "turbo-charger", would stay as GT26C-2. See this picture, the first 2 locomotives are GL26C-2, the third is from a GR12 but rebuilt ("GR12R"): http://www.railpictures.net/photo/433973

Even as Brazil is covered (as usual) with 80 degree or higher temperatures, there have been dire amounts of snow in the high areas of Chile, Bolivia and Peru to the west. That's the biggest load of acid(?) I've seen on one of these western South America mining train photos. Tremendous picture!

They're not transporting acid on these trains. As far as I understood it these buckets carry some sort of ore concentrate from Bolivia to Chile. Since this train is going the other way, I'd say it is empty.
