British Railways/LNER/GER 2-4-0 steam locomotive #62785 at Mildenhall railway station in Suffolk. 100 of these were built between 1891 and 1902. The scene is not as old as it looks, a pic from a Cambridge University Railway Club special railtour on 28 November 1959.

2-8-0 'Consolidation' type steam locomotive at the highest point on Peru's railway, circa 1910

Built by the Rogers Locomotive Works. The railway pass today is operated by the private concessionaire Ferrocarril Central Andino (FCCA). While the open-air tracks right at Ticlio station are mostly bypassed by modern traffic via the nearby Galera Summit Tunnel (which pierces the mountain ridge at an altitude of 15,692 feet / 4,783 meters), the trans-Andean mainline itself remains fully operational.

Southern Peru Copper Corporation (SPCC) Alco RS-11 locomotive

SPCC purchased 5 units new from ALCO: Delivered directly from the builder between 1956 and 1959, assigned road numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. plus 3 units acquired second-hand from the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) in the mid-1970s, assigned road numbers 11, 12, and 13. While the SPCC roster has historically included nearly 50 different locomotives, their current active line-up has been consolidated down to roughly 24 to 26 active mainline engines. Much of their daily mine operations shifted heavily to truck hauling, which allowed them to retire older models like the original ALCO RS-11 fleets.

SPCC operates an industrial private railway network that spans approximately 133 to 149 miles (214 to 240 km) of standard-gauge track. The primary artery of the system is the Toquepala-Cuajone-Ilo line, which connects their high-altitude Andean open-pit copper mines to the coastal processing infrastructure.

Perhaps a Latécoère 28 is meant to be depicted. The map shows a north to south route running from Toulouse through Casablanca and Dakar, crossing the South Atlantic to Natal, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires.
