Argentina, travelling on the Patagonian express

Travelling on a steam train through Patagonia, in October 2014 (FarRail-charter). The video starts at El Maiten und finishes at Ingeniero Jacobacci, with the scenes in between compiled from all over the line.

So beautiful and so immense is Argentina. Is only when you travel withing Argentina you realized t how small is Europe. I travel by train from Mendoza to Buenos Aires and i felt so lost for words you just see emptiness everywhere and not a sole or a house for hours and hours. My brother who lives there said that you have to make sure you carry petrol for the car because you may never see a petrol station around . I am too old now to keep on travelling now and i think i have found the sunny village with the perfect weather.

Reminds me of many a journeys on Indian Railways during my childhood. The wind on my face, billowing clouds of smoke, sound of chugging steam engine, swaying carriages and the ever-changing landscape. Unforgettable.

Beautiful reminiscence..

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

This brings back memories of crossing the Andes from Argentina into Chile in the 1970s. They were breezy old British built wooden rail cars with loose, rattling wooden sash windows. I was unprepared and would probably have frozen to death, but for the generosity of an old lady who was very well prepared and lent me 2 of her extra blankets. I also remember the excellent beer they served on the train. One benefit from World War 2 is that German refugees spread German brewing expertise all over South America. Almost all counties had excellent beer.

[@timmayer8723]

terence barrett beautiful vast country, but harsh and unforgiving. I live in the Sonoran desert and often have the idea that the open space that surrounds me is more attractive than the lightly populated area where I live. But without modern amenities, the bottom line harshness of uninhabited land would quickly overshadow my vision of wide open spaces and spectacular vistas that surround me. It's eternal natural beauty is best enjoyed from the comfort of modern society. A cowboy once said the desert is full of things that sting, bite and kill. But, Good lord it is stunningly beautiful.

Too late. the train no longer runs. the line is dormant.

[@sinhalaya4483]

@@jeffreymcfadden9403 good, it's a pollution.

[@strangesignal9757]

It still sort of runs, but not the whole way. It runs from Ojos de Agua to Ing. Jacobacci, a trip of two hours. It no longer goes all the way from El Maitén and certainly not from Esquel, and the trip is really expensive for what it is. The poor state of the railway lines not just here but throughout the country has taken a toll on it. We used to have regular trains that made well over 1,000 kilometers per trip and were affordable, but the national government takes money from the truck lobby and some provinces have lifted rail lines, even with trucks being demonstrably more expensive than the trains. Privatization of the railway line in the 90's failed massively, closing most lines and actually causing deaths, most lines were renationalized after the Once tragedy in 2011 but many of the old lines weren't reopened and some were cancelled. The railway lines are slowly being rebuilt by some provincial governments and even groups of railway enthusiasts, but it's far gone from when the train was considered the future of Argentina.
