| Hi there, and welcome to my fotopic site. Here you will find various files of train photographs which I have taken from around the world, primarily Latin America, but also some UK and Ireland. These will be added as and when I get around to it ! I particularly like the EMD/GM export models GA8/ GL8 as found in Ireland and across S America. I have moved further abroad as the UK scene has gone "plastic". I have plenty of vintage Uk shots, maybe one day I will upload those too!!! |

A flying visit to Buenos Aires saw me scratching a few more locos for haulage and one or two for sight!! Highlights included a run behind EM02, following on from EM01 scored in July; then almost solid Alco action on LSM, and including 8456 on the Junin, with a ballast leap at Muniz to cover required B811 working, which is my last serviceable one for haluage on LSM.
Then a full day scooping small Alcos on TBA, plus the GR12s and their great chime whistle! Over on Belgrano Sur, which is much improved, my disappointment when MF624 was ripped at Tapiales turned to joy when it was replaced by Henschel 1402. I was also able to cover MF102, and the Puente Alsina service round the curve to Kilo 12 ( De Elia/castello) behind F612, having previously done the P Alsina line from Kilo 12 to Alsina earlier in the year. A final spin on Roca saw my last required loks avoiding me, so I will have to go back !
Also covered the Tren de la Costa tourist line and also the short Tren Lugero/ Light railway along the front of Puerto Madero.

 | 17th Jul 2008 to 30th Jul 2008 | argentina and uruguay July 2008
Another visit to Buenos Aires and Montevideo, with the chance to tour the FEPSA depot at Ingeniero White. I was able to see some of the changes on Belgrano (Ferrovias) and on LSM with the influx of ex Moroccan/ RENFE and CP locomotives.
FEPSA provided a couple of surprises at Ingeniero White with ex ndeM G12s #6639 and 6640 preparing to leave on a freight with Alco RSD16 dead in tow, plus more Alcos inside the depot. The usual GA8s were scuttling about the yard. Ferrosur Roca GE #2004 was seen at Grunbein later in the day.
Back in Bs As and a visit to LGR and to LBS to see the new liveried locos and sample as many new ones as possible for haulage!
Then over to Montevideo, but no time for a visit to Peņarol, so no shovelnoses seen this time! Sampled Alsthom 813 to 25 de agosto and back, plus some shots at Carnelli and the elusive ANCAP shunter inside La Teja refinery
