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.
