Train trip down the
"Devils Nose" - Ecuador
Derailments always draw a
crowd !
This was the first derailment of the day at a town called Guamote,
there were two more derailments and the train also hit a
rock which damaged a hydraulic hose, all were fixed quite quickly and
the damaged track was fixed only if the train
derailed on a ropy section of track. Luckily the speeds are low so
it is not to hard to coax the train back on the tracks. (Derailments must
be a regular occurance because they carry a lot of repair equipment with
them.)
