La Trochita near Esquel, Chubut (Argentina)
An important tourist attractionof Esquel is the narrow-gauge train (with 75 cm between the rails), known as La Trochita locally and in English as The Old Patagonian Express after The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux. It is said to be the only narrow-gauge long-distance train in operation and the southernmost railway in the world. The first fifty locomotives were made by Henschel & Son of Germany in 1922 and were originally modified to use fuel oil and steam. Later twenty-five locomotives were bought from the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia.
The train remains authentic and in operation thanks to the effort of the team of workers at Talleres Ferroviarios El Maiten, that make a lot of pieces and parts by hand. The trains now run as a tourist excursion between Esquel and the small settlement of Nahuel Pan, located at the foot of the volcano of the same name, with other services all the way to El Maitén. Until 1993, the train ran all the way to the city of Ingeniero Jacobacci in Río Negro Province, from where trains ran to Viedma, Río Negro and from there to Buenos Aires, forming the General Roca railway.
Eine wichtige touristische Attraktion der Stadt ist die Schmalspurbahn in 750 mm Breite, die mit regulär laufenden Dampflokomotiven deutscher (Henschel & Sohn GmbH, Cassel) und amerikanischer (The Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia) sowie belgischer (Societe Anonyme Ateliers de Construction de et a Famillieureux) Waggons seit 1922 bis dato (2005) zwei bis dreimal wöchentlich für touristische Zwecke fährt. Die Gleise befinden sich zwischen Esquel - Nahuel Pan und El Maiten - Leleque Museum. Die Bahn wird örtlich La Trochita und im Englischen The Old Patagonian Express nach dem gleichnamigen Buch von Paul Theroux genannt. Seit 1922 werden die Heizkessel der Loks mit schwerem Petroleum geheizt, gegenwärtig mit einer Mischung aus Heizöl und Altöl aus Schiffsmotoren im Verhältnis 1:5, in den Werkhallen von El Maiten gepflegt und mit nach den ursprünglichen Plänen hier einzeln gefertigten Ersatzteilen repariert.

LutzP club has replied to Erhard Bernstein clubLos ferrocarriles de via estrecha tuvieron un gran desarrollo en el norte de España, tambien en esa época de principios de siglo pasado. Muchos de ellos han ido desapareciendo, pero aun se conservan amplios trazados que funcionan bastante bien.
- Podemos ir de Irun a El Ferrol, todo el Cantábrico, unos 600 Kmts, enlazando cuatro tramos de ferrocarril de via estrecha, con modernas unidades en servicio.
- Podemos ir de Bilbao a León ( 300 Kmts ), en el Ferrocarril de la Robla, en servicio con unidades modernas tambien.
- Pero de hace cincuenta años al dia de hoy se han suprimido trazados que existían entre el Pais Vasco y Navarra, ferrocarriles de San Sebastian a Pamplona, de Irun a Elizondo, de Vitoria a Estella, de Pamplona a Sangüesa , de Eibar a Vitoria, de Haro a Ezcaray . Esto puede suponer mas de trescientos kilómetros suprimidos. Una verdadera pena.
Mis felicitaciones por esta maravillosa imagen, amigo Erhard Bernstein.
Buen fin de semana.
Eduardo.
