High Noon at Chorrillos, Argentina?


A photo taken in 1939, featuring as well as the steam train, what looks like a man ready to draw his pistol.  This is on the route of what is known as El Tren a las Nubes - the train to the clouds - which climbs to an elevation of 4,200 metres (13,800 ft) over a distance of 217 km.  More recent pics and a map are on this webpage

The 65 metre high Viaducto la Polvorilla
