Boxcabs at work

Back in 2013 the world was still in order. The GE 289A "Boxcabs" were close to 90 years old at that point, but still dutifully hauling freight every day, like this rake of empty gondolas returning from the port of Tocopilla to the mines near Maria Elena. The line was severely damaged during a heavy rainstorm in 2015 and all operations were subsequently shut down permanently.
