Clever use of switches! No mountain stays unconquered that way! Lucky trip, offering so much to the passionate traveller, from the railway bed cut into rock to bridges seemingly fragile enough to collapse under the weight of the train to tunnels carved as if by hammer and chisel!
A thoroughly enjoyable video - thanks for the upload. You have to appreciate the planning, surveying, engineering and the actual construction of such a spectacular line.

For those who wonder about the use of the horn, here in Peru you find people walking almost anywhere like that lady sat aside of the line, you better use the horn instead of using breaks because someone was in the tunnel.

Merci de cette très belle vidéo où l'on voit une locomotive fatigué qui mérite d'être remplacée .... Nous vous souhaitons bon courage ! Un bonjour de FRANCE Europe le 22/02/18
Why some of the tunnel portal are bricked and lined and some are not? And what is that structure on the opposite side of the gorge and in the background at 45:16 to 46:29 ? It looks like two steep parallel lines dug into the hillside going way up. It comes into view again at 46:44 to 47:00 when it disappears around a turn just before tunnel #26. After the switchback, it is visible again when the train comes out of tunnel #27 at 52:03 to all the way to the end at 52:17
I love that rasping jagged GE exhaust note. That C39 sounds very similar to the U26C's I've ridden behind in New Zealand South Island (though the grades were nothing like these Andean ones, and ours didn't actually breathe fire like this one)
Info from Wikipedia 2018-11-04: The GE C39-8 six axle traction motor diesel electric. Maximum Tractive Effort: 108,600 lbf (483,000 N) at 10.8 mph (17.4 km/h), Power: 3,900 horsepower (2,900 kW), Prime Mover: V16 7FDL-16 diesel engine driving a GE GMC187A2 main alternator, Fuel Capacity: 3,900-4,500 US gal (15,000-17,000 l; 3,200-3,700 imp gal), Gear Ratio of 83:20 connected to 40-inch (1,016 mm) wheels which allowed the C39-8 a maximum speed of 70 mph (110 km/h). Total 161 built between 1984-1987 for two North American railroads, Conrail and Norfolk Southern, which have now retired all of them. The GE C39-8 was a fairly unpopular locomotive with crews, cited factors such as a rough ride, tendency to overheat, frequent turbocharger issues, issues with the fuel injection system, and various other reliability issues. Note from poster: The calculated speeds through the first 8 tunnels in Part 1 of this video using this locomotive had an averaged speed of about 15 mph. At 15 mph an unsophisticated clunky suspension and over heating are likely non issues with low throttle slow climes, short trains, and once you get some altitude cool air. More than 100,000 lbf of tractive effort likely makes this locomotive a reliable hero pushing cars up steep switch back ramps with grades over 3% in the rain!
Thanks for posting the video reminded me of working in Taiwan. I worked on the Taiwan High Speed Rail Project as Senior Inspector of Works on the C220 16 klm section. 11 tunnels, several bridges of varicose types, viaduct sections and a station and maintenance yard. It took 4 years to build even though we experienced earth quakes and typhoons. A great experience that I'm proud of being part of.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Very cool to hear about your experience, its truly amazing what kind of terrain the new HSR lines in Asia and Europe are being built through. When in Korea in 2009 I couldnt believe how they were just drilling dozen mile long tunnels everywhere to replace the old lines that wound through river gorges.
Excelente locomotiva, excelente som de buzina, grande motor. Filme fabuloso, adorei. Gostaria de ver mais filmes deste género com estes mamutes de força.
The railway was commissioned by the Peruvian Government to access the vast mineral wealth of this region, a job it still does today. The two men primarily responsible for the design are Ernest Malinowski and Henry Meiggs.
Contemplating this landscape, could anyone deny there is a Creator? Thank you for posting this; I am enjoying this for the third time, I cannot get enough of it, not the least because of the magnificent sound (not the typhon)
I enjoyed the video. The mountainous scenes were spectacular though very scary. I am certain you are enjoying your job. Hats off to the engineers of the route.
Divoká, krásná krajina.Můj obdiv mají stavitelé této trati za ukázkové zabudování kolejí _Jejich oblouky jsou provedeny ukázkově, což se hned tak nevidí.Škoda, že trať nebude mít asi dlouhého trvání.Přeji vám ještě hodně takových dobrodružných cest.
It's interesting for me to think if the Denver & Rio Grande would have found alternative places to lay track here. They were notorious for their looping lines in mountainous areas and tried to avoid building tunnels to the absolute extreme. Note how the Durango & Silverton line has no tunnel at all.
The Spiral tunnel was actually built sometime in the 1970s, before then the line gained elevation looking through the valley but was continuously destroyed by floods. Interesting thought though as rough as the landscape is there might have been no other choice but to build tunnels.
I watched a similar video on this railroad, which ran the total distance. It is something like 170 kilometers! This trip was aborted due to a rock fall.
The line is very spectacular line but also scaring. Although the train goes slow sometimes it looks too fast for such slopes and curves. It's terrible to imagine what may happen in case of derailing or brake failure. Fortunately, the tracks in a good condition, looks like they were renewed shortly before the video was taken.
Accidents were a major problem when the line was run by the state owned ENAFER company, due to corruption and mismanagement the line never received proper maintenance. However since the line was privatized under Henry Posners FCCA the railway has received tons of work to make accidents very rare. Most accidents that happen nowdays are due to falling rocks, an everpresent danger on this line.
Maravilla de que del atraso que tiene el Perú. Mientras otros países andan en tren bala está mierda parace una tortuga pendejo con tanto delincuente. Mantenido en las cárceles ya. Tendría. Dos carriles y. Por mínimo 20 metros de ancho a pala y pico eso sería una maravilla no una mierda tan aburrida que va a 10 kilómetros por hora y unos.

Bridge at 30:22 is incredible! I would like to see it also from the highway view. Do you know if there are any book about this railway, or its construction? Thanks for sharing, southamerica andean trains are one of the most panoramics over the world! I've been a lucky man, I've travelled on the Salta to San Antonio de los Cobres in Argentina, Potosí to Uyuni, Uyuni to Ollagüe, and one of the most impressive : Ollagüe to Calama.
that track must be a real bastid in the wet months with rockfalls and landslides.... though this movies better than any pornography.... for amateur geologists....! thanks for uploading and greetings from tasmania
Just ask him does he like his nose the way it is, or does he want it remodeled. I started in tunnel construction back in the 60s, when safety officers were just coming into the business. The older miners taught new comers like me safety and if you didn't listen you got a clip around the ear. Once in a rock tunnel drilling was in operation so it was hard to hear, I threw a small stone at a miner to get his attention. He just ran for cover, then saw me laughing so another clip around the ear. He explained that a small stone will fall 1st before a rock fall. I also worked on the St Clair, CN railway tunnel Sarnia, Ontario to Port Huron Michigan in 1994, safety standards actually changed midway. The walkway boards changed from tow to one on the US side, the contractor ignored that rule. There are many blanket rules in safety that are not task specific and need to be challenged.
would have been nicer without the red hats guys. but this is terrifying. I rode a train to Machu Picchu this spring, but that was tame compared to this.
Does the entire train clears the switch at the end of each switchback or does it need to be broken into two parts? What is the average length of a typical train? Thanks for sharing this amazing experience!
@@nikosjk1 I think lengthening the switchbacks would be a priority. Do locos normally top and tail the trains? It would make sense on this steeply graded line
@@Isochest Isochest No, just one locomotive in most cases, the train lengths arn't long enough to justify helpers. I'm sure they would like to lengthen the switchbacks but it would likely be an expensive proposition.
@@nikosjk1 I agree it would cost. One of those switchbacks is in a dead end tunnel!! FCCA has a good strategy in using limited resources. I believe they keep their two stroke diesels at lower altitudes where the function best.
@@Isochest That is correct, though also due to that the EMDs are too tall to fit through the tunnels north of Matucana. They GEs have been modified for this reason.
Superb video, but I wondered as to why they're backing up from the community of Tamboraque? It looks as if there's a tunnel further on down the tracks a way, under a highway. I would have liked to seen what was beyond the tunnel. Overall, though, this is awesome and thanks for posting.

This railroad better hope it never rains much...
When you have towns such as Tamboraque, what caused them to be built so high in the Andes, and to be connected by a railroad?
In most cases for the mining industry which is the reason for the railroads existence.

There are many blanket rules in safety that are not task specific and need to be challenged.

Some switchbacks have dead end tunnels to allow for extra headroom. Anytime the train reverses in the video its for a switchback.
Thank you for your answer.
At 19.00mins I noticed the loco was shooting fre out of the exhaust pipe what went wrong or is that normal ?
Its normal enough, these locomotives have a tendency to shoot fire (poor combustion) which is exacerbated by the lack of oxygen at high altitudes.
@@nikosjk1 You normally only see this on cold starts
