2501 @ the Lava Fields
The air is thin at 12,000 feet where we stand atop piles of petrified lava in the shadow of two Andean Volcanos. The San Pedro and Poruña dominate the martian-esque landscape where FCAB loaded mineral train 210 begins its descent from the towering Andes at Ollagüe.
The Poruña volcano hasn't erupted in thousands of years but the solidified remnant of its lavaflows blanket the surrounding desert in charred black and red rocks . At 150m in height, it is among the smallest volcanoes on the planet. By contrast, the San Pedro peaks at a staggering 20,000 feet and among the tallest peaks in South America
The GT22CU leader #2501 was built on a GP40 frame and features a 'Tunnel Motor' rear end, hailing from its days on the Tren a las Nubes. It's the only one of its kind on the roster. The codeline pole is one of a few that still dot the FCAB network dating back to the days before radio.
Codeline, lava, volcanos, desert, EMDs... pure insanity
