argentina and uruguay July 2008

17th July 2008 to 30th 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 Peñarol, 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
