Estación Rio Turbio

Estación Rio Turbio
Some images from the railway station in Rio Turbio and the coal industry around. The little town was founded in late 1942, as a consequence of the coal mining in the area. Rio Turbio was home to the state-owned coal extraction company YCF (see photos of locomotives and steamer in Rio Gallegos before).

is this mine still in operation? because the activity seems reduced, even if the wagons seem new.

Yes, it's still in operation, coal is used for a near power plant and is still brought to the port of Rio Gallegos by train....

Stimmt auch, ist die Endstation ;-) Die Kohlebahn geht über 255 km von Rio Turbio nach Rio Gallegos.
