Remarks & Notes 
The three FCAB units Clyde GL26C-2 2005, Clyde GL26C-2 2010 and EMD GR12 2402 are catching the last rays of sunshine as they pull their somewhere around 2000 tonnes train uphill towards Ascotan summit - 3965m a.s.l.! In the background you can see the Salar de Ascotan (salt lake Ascotan), an unidentified volcano (left) and the active volcano "Ollagüe" (right).

I was close to a collapse when taking this picture - running uphill at over 3800m isn't much fun.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.

Anything that grabs one's attention and holds it. These photos tell more than a story based on the sum of its parts, but create other stories.
