Ecuador is a nice place to go. Most of my family is Ecuadorian. The last time I visited Ecuador was in 2010 and I don’t remember much and I don’t think I’ve ever see its rail system either until now. I’m very surprised that most of the railroad crossings don’t work and they all have WCH Electronic Bells which is neat.

In terms of landslides, one of the problems they are facing is the soil in the upper part of the line. Th line is established closed to two big volcanoes, one of which is still active. Those covered the area with thick layers of ash, which is easily washed away during the rainy season. El Niño is particularly dangerous in this respect.

@RustyOldF250 5 жыл бұрын
@@KochersbergTV That makes sense, wet volcanic ash behaves a lot like chocolate pudding! We're actually dealing with a similar problem on one of our RR's, it's built in a valley that was filled in by volcanic activity however many thousands of years ago, but on one section a deep ditch parallels the railroad. Local development is causing much more water to flow into the ditch than used to, and our railroad is trying to slip into the ditch. one spot in particular just keeps taking more and more rock, with no end in sight. We get the track leveled up nicely, then a couple weeks later the rail next to the ditch has sunk back down.

Actually a good part of the mountain near Huigra collapsed in 1998 (because of El Niño rain). The railway was closed for about 15 years and resumed operations for tourist purposes only. That is to say that tourists prefer to see the good old steam locomotives even though the French made diesel engines are interesting as well.

Thank you for your nice comment. FEEP means Ecuador Railways Public Enterprise (Ferrocarrilesf del Ecuador, Empresa Publica, I believe). The status of the railway is a bit special. On the one hand it is a public company. On the other hand, they organise trains only for tourist purposes. In Riobamba, I saw refurbished coaches, which look like they could be used for a kind of suburban traffic, but to the best of my knowledge, they are not in regular use.

+KochersbergTV, Sorry to hear that. In my opinion, #18 is the most beautiful locomotive in Ecuador (2-8-0, inside frame), and runs really smooth. I actually don´t remember the right cylinder being opened after the rebuild. Nevertheless, the left cylinder was opened about a month ago to inspect for damages after a problem with the left main rod, but it turned out to be fine. The locomotive is back on the track now. Your shots of locomotives #14 and #58 are beautiful. I noticed that this is not the regular Tren Crucero ride. Was it a charted ride?

+parkerfly2000 Sorry, my mistake: it was the left (portside) cylinder. And yes, I rode only charter trains from Guayaquil to Salinas, partly steam partly diesel. The only disappointment was of course the closure of the line in the vicinity of the erupting Cotopaxi volcano. Before Ecuador, we also visited the turistren in Bogotá, Colombia and I also published a video of it.

The pollution is not just a question of black smoke. The many buses replacing or complementing the train in Ecuador are polluting much more than these locomotives. Diesel engines, especially when poorly maintained produce a lot of nano particles, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide which are equally polluting. The nastier pollution is usually not visible. And I am afraid Brazil is no example in this respect.

Whether the tank wagon contains water or fuel (I would opt for the latter), its presence is probably justified by the fact No. 58 was making a much longer journey than No. 14. As for Eucalyptus trees, yes, there are plenty of those in Ecuador. Apparently they were planted as fire-wood as they grow faster than the indigenous species they now replace. Not unique in the world. I saw plenty in Eritrea as well, for the same reason plus fighting erosion.

Good point! Actually, all those trains were charters. So, the passengers had gone out to take pictures of the train.

17:12 For those who don't know, the spinning white circles are not the wheels. They're counterbalances for the siderods. This is an 'outside frame' loco. Wheels are behind / within the frame, just hard to see..

+William Roberts (“7822WelshSteam”) Considering the political situation, I would not consider driving to Ecuador. But there are many flights from Bogota to Quito. And you can take the train in Quito.

The number of coaches is adapted to the number of passengers... and they have no smaller locomotives. Consider also that this line is sometimes very steep, such that trains are usually kept relatively short.

Looks like 3' gauge to me.. Love that, what, 40Lb. rail.. Funny how concrete ties have found their way even to the remotest of places.. I guess they save money in the long run by lasting way longer than wood..

Lovely black beauty steam engine. But why only three boggies?it seems that initially train is running without passengers. Why?otherwise nice vedio and coverage. Thanks.

Thank you for your kind comment. The trains seem to be empty, because they were charters and at every photo stop, all passengers disembarked, precisely to take pictures or videos.

These were charters, not regular commercial trains. The passengers jump off the train for taking pictures whenever possible such that you may be erroneously thinking the train is empty.
