866 at La Quiaca 8.10.72

On a three day rail journey from Buenas Aires to La Paz, third class on wooden seats. Approaching the Andes steam took over at Tucamen for the climb to La Quiaca and it was there or Jujuy the already crowded train filled up with portly Quechua women with their bowler hats and bundles of stuff. filling the aisles, that third night on the train wasn't much fun. The shot was taken walking away from the train after arrival at the border to take the Bolivian train to La Paz.
