Uno paseo encantador. Bellas paisajes y el sonido del trene una canción para los olvido. Mucho bueno su trabajo. Las imágenes del drone estaban muy hermosas.
Großartig! Das weckt schöne und interessante Erinnerungen in mir. Ich als Österreicher bin vor etlichen Jahren (unter anderem) mit der Trans-Andenbahn von Arequipa (Peru) nach Puno und Cuzco und weiter über La Paz (Bolivien), Cochabamba, San Salvador de Jujuy (Argentinien) nach Salta und dann über San Miguel de Tucuman, Cordoba und Rosario nach Buenos Aires und Tigre gefahren. Das war eine wunderbare und sehr lange Reise. Leider habe nicht die hier gezeigte Strecke von Salta nach San Antonio de las Cobres befahren können. Dank an RailRelaxation für diesen Ausflug nach und in Argentinien! - ¡Excelente! Esto me trae recuerdos hermosos e interesantes. Como austriaco, tomé el Ferrocarril Trasandino desde Arequipa (Perú) a Puno y Cuzco hace varios años (entre otras cosas) y luego vía La Paz (Bolivia), Cochabamba, San Salvador de Jujuy (Argentina) hasta Salta y luego vía San Miguel. de Tucumán, Córdoba y Rosario a Buenos Aires y Tigre. Ese fue un viaje maravilloso y muy largo. Lamentablemente no pude realizar la ruta que se muestra aquí desde Salta a San Antonio de las Cobres. ¡Gracias a RailRelaxation por este viaje hacia y en Argentina! - Great! That brings back beautiful and interesting memories for me. As an Austrian, I traveled several years ago (among other places) on the Trans-Andean Railway from Arequipa (Peru) to Puno and Cuzco and then via La Paz (Bolivia), Cochabamba, San Salvador de Jujuy (Argentina) to Salta and then via San Miguel de Tucuman, Cordoba and Rosario to Buenos Aires and Tigre. It was a wonderful and very long journey. Unfortunately, I was not able to travel the route shown here from Salta to San Antonio de las Cobres. Thanks to RailRelaxation for this trip to and in Argentina!
@montgomeryscott1656 Thank you for your support. I travelled quite a lot around Argentina and Bolivia this time. There are many railways that are not operational these days. But still, I could travel some of them. I am glad that you enjoyed the ride.
Speachless. Another peace of breathtaking landscape and engineering. You should present preview shoots in all of the length of the filmed video. That scenes were astonishing too. Can you imagine to film a video of the line from coast to coast? from 0 attitude on 4k and back to zero again. 👌👍👍 ♥😍😘
Espectacular video! Espero que puedan regresar los viajes a este lugar desde Salta ya que se pueden apreciar dos zig-zags y algunos loops en el trazado donde la formación gana altura. Saludos!
Bonjour looking forward to this been busy but had a good day looking forward to it😅😅😅my best mate love from Manchester did you enjoy the trip to Argentina 🇦🇷 it's such a honour to support you're channel 😀 really love trains you're the best 👌 on you tube by far
@JoshHodginsTrains Good morning. I enjoyed very much my trip to South America. This journey was on my list for a long time. It would be even better to film the whole railway, but it is not operational for passenger trains.
Excelente amigo! El año pasado cuando subías vídeos de trayectos brasileros te pedí algún trayecto argentino, y este tramo del Belgrano Cargas es insuperable. Mil gracias!
Amazing! 🤩 It must have taken a long time to prepare for this one! If you ever return to South America, may I also suggest the Guayaquil - Quito railway in Ecuador! That one should also be epic: all the way from the Pacific coast up into the Andes!
@wyqtor Yes, it was quite an adventure. It is an amazing ride. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you for your suggestion. This time it will not be possible, but I will look into it. I did some more interesting lines around Brazil and Argentina..they will be available in the next months.
thanks for the video! I'm not sure if this is the highest rail line in the world but for now it's the highest in your channel! I imagine it was very hard to breathe at over 4000 mt als, even though it was totally worth it,.
They claim third-highest, peak of the whole line Salta-Antofagasta is at the La Povrilla viaduct at 4220m. Higher above this one would be line in Tibet and probably Puno-Cusco in Peru.
Tack för flera trevliga filmer från Sydamerika. Är det inte hundar, alpackor eller kossor på spåret så är det åsnor. 😉😊 Önskar även en God Jul till dej. 🧑🎄🌲🌟
Truly an exciting experience! David Sousa is the Andean cowboy! The Clint Eastwood of A Fistful of Dollars from Brazil takes us to see an incredible western-railway show! The landscape varies with clouds and incredible heights among the braying of donkeys (and even the locomotive seems to bray and go I-HO) to make you understand how the iron monster is passing through the rocks at incredible and unimaginable heights! Too bad we didn't make the 13-hour trip! It would have been incredible. There are a lot of routes in South America: I saw on the site map that you have planned an itinerary in Chile and one in Peru! We hope to see them! It would be nice (but I don't know if it's still active) to tackle the route of the Chepe train in Mexico! In any case, both the journey and the aerial drone footage of the route and the viaduct are worth watching the video! Spectacular as always! Incredible how at such a height the engineers have built such a daring and particular line. It looks like the Semmering railway but in the Andes. David Sousa as Carl von Ghega! Maybe he is more human! beautiful part of Tren a las Nubes! keep it up! obrigado!!!!!!
@wladislaw79 De nada!! It is always a pleasure to read your comments. You make me laugh..I am glad that you enjoy travelling with me on this very distant and remote railways on the south hemisphere...This time I did not get to film all the planned routes in Chile and Peru....but I did some very interesting ones in Argentina and Bolivia...and, of course, in Brazil. South America is huge.... there is much more to explore... I would love to do the whole line from Salta to Antofagasta...it would be amazing...hopefully one day ...
Perjalanan yang luar biasa indah sekaligus menegangkan..sejak loko berjalan mundur/mendorong, kepalaku langsung pusing min..maaf min nanya aja, kenapa loko berjalan mendorong? Tx n trima kasih atas video yang. Indah ini..salam 👍👍👍🙏
Train just goes to the stop by the viaduct, there they can’t turn the loco around. So they move the locomotive to the back at that station at the mine and then push to the viaduct. This way, when they go back down they don’t have to stop.
@@RailRelaxation En La Trochita se filmó para la película El Profesor Patagónico. Una película de 1970. Luego se hicieron tomas eln la Estación Esquel. Varios de los personajes no eran extras sino personajes reales. Además es el único ferrocarril en el mudo que corre sobre trocha angosta y con todo el material rodante de la época.
Hi, most excellent video, so different to the usual cab ride view only, especially the footage of the Polvolrilla Viaduct and viewing area including the incredible drone coverage, thank you so much. Such a barren inhospitable landscape. A couple of questions:- Didn't the train used to run a greater distance from Salta to Polvolrilla? Also when filming the trip you obviously had the camera in the cab, but where was the camera whilst the loco was pushing? Was it on the opposite end of the loco body? Thank you again, regards, Barry
@barringtonw2 Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, the route was longer, at the moment the passenger train only rides on that part of the line. I had my camera on the cab, when the loco was pushing the train on the viaduct, the camera was on the loco, just filming backwards.
*En este vídeo puedes disfrutar del Viaje en cabina - vista del maquinista en el Tren a las Nubes desde Salta, una ciudad cercana a la frontera con Chile, hasta el impresionante viaducto de La Polvorilla, en 4K/60 fotogramas por segundo.*
Gracias por este video. Muy bonito e interesante itinerario en cabina. Conocido pues fue visto hace unos 20 años. Que recuerde, el maquinista no se encontró con.mulos o mulas. La vegetación sigue escasa por la altitud. Tengo entendido que la linea es o era internacional. Enfin gracias por los datos vistos y buen fin de semana.
@@RailRelaxation gracias, por su respuesta. Creo que hace años si que había la posibilidad de ir hasta Santiago de Chile. Me temo que las relaciones entre estos dos países, con altibajos, es el problema. Pero esto ocurre en otros sitios y continentes.
Salta es la capital y mayor ciudad de la provincia homónima argentina, situada en el noroeste del país, a unos 1.600 km de la Capital Federal, o unas 2 horas de vuelo. La ciudad tiene una población de 640.000 habitantes.
They can’t turn around the loco at the Viaduct as it is not a station with multiple tracks), so they turn the loco at the station before and push the train for that last bit. This way when they go back they don’t have to stop again to turn the loco around.
El video es excelente pero hay una corrección: la imagen que se señala como viaductor del río Toro es incorrecta: el viaducto del río Toro es muchísimo más largo, reticulado y se encuentra muchos kilómetros al sur, cuando la vía comienza a internarse en la cordillera luego de la estación Campo Quijano.
Thank You for clarification, online maps are bit inconsistent, on some places this is San Antonio river (or quebrada which would be a ravine), while some maps list this as well as Rio Toro. Line crosses Rio Toro downstream to Salta several times with some longer viaducts, not sure which would be The "Rio Toro Viaduct".
@@ZvonimirZelenika muchas gracias a ud. El viaducto del río Toro es impresionante porque cruza el río Toro con 8 enormes columnas metálicas reticuladas que sostienen las vías. Es uno de los más bellos viaductos del tren pero está varios kilómetros al sur. Excelente su video.
That's a pretty serious climb across the route as a whole. There's a lot of South America that's characterized by this "harshly beautiful" setting. Interestingly, there are a number of railways in the Andes and/or the Altiplano that are of something like a 1,600-mm broad gauge, for whatever reason. It's too bad that, to my knowledge, the once-famous railway across Ecuador, including the switchbacks across the formation known as "the Devil's Nose", was never properly rebuilt after rounds of flooding in the 1980s and '90s. There's an old National Geographic special that features some footage from that route. EDIT: Upon further review, there may be some limited services that would allow one to ride the full length of the line from Guayaquil to Quito, Ecuador.
@Villoresi Very interesting. I do not know that one. Will take a look. Many of the great routes in South America are not operational anymore or are operational just for freight...I did document some more journeys around there...
It gets pretty complicated in South America - South Chile and Argentina use 5,5-foot Iberian gauge (1676mm, same as Spain/Portugal, but also India/Pakistan). Belgrano and other railways north of Bueno Aires and to north Chile (Antofagasta) are meter-gauge (1000mm), same as are lines in Bolivia. Peru is on standard gauge (1435mm), same as Uruguay and northeast parts of Argentina, Ecuador on meter-gauge, but in 3,5 foot (1067mm) and Colombia has three-foot narrow-gauge (914mm). Brazil is mix of its own, with both meter-gauge (1000mm) and Irish gauge (1600mm, 5,25 foot) with also some standard gauge (1435mm) metros.
@@ZvonimirZelenika That certainly makes things "interesting". Russian standard gauge at least was 4 ft, 10 in (1,473 mm), which gave the Germans fits in WWII, even without the Russians being such good pillagers. The Durango to Silverton and Cumbres and Toltec Railroads are 3-ft gauge. And thanks to a British engineer (who else), the local services in Japan are on 3-ft, 6-in gauge.
@@RailRelaxation That's quite unfortunate if a number of those routes are lost. It definitely strikes me as a tourist opportunity that could help their economies down there. Kind of like how, if the Middle East could stop blowing itself up, there's all that history they could showcase to visitors, and not be so dependent on oil or opium, or whatever else.
@Villoresi For sure those would be a very interesting and promising tourist opportunities. There are some very interesting tourist lines in Brazil, for example Curitiba/Morretes that I filmed and published on the channel.
No, kaj takega. Če sem prav videl, naj bi višinomer pokazal cel 4286 m nadmorske višine. Skoraj kot Tibet... Veličastno. Lep pozdrav vsem iz Slovenije.
It's a shame they don't do the full route more. There are some old videos of the complete route from Salta where you can see the tunnels, viaducts and the famous loops.
Those old (1970's !) US trains are so underpowered... and altitude doesn't help matters ! I know it's expensive to bring electricity but it would be such a great improvement !
Not likely, there are many Croatians in Argentina (mostly came in late 19th century from Dalmatia), but I haven't seen nowhere info that Tito was in Argentina. His movements in 1920s and 1930s are quite well established and documented, so not sure he had time to drop by to Argentina...
Una vergüenza que el tren no parta de Salta Capital como era antes. Cuántos años hace !!! Y no repararon el túnel . Ahhh pero la tarifa bien saladita.!!!
Well, we can see it this way without falling into a tourist trap. Though on the other though, if You travel across to the other side of the world, sometimes it's worth to fall into some of them as they are still really unique. 😀

Why was it necessary for the engine to push the train over the viaduct? I'm intrigued. Thank you.
They can’t turn around the loco at the Viaduct as it is not a station with multiple tracks), so they turn the loco at the station before and push the train for that last bit. This way when they go back they don’t have to stop again to turn the loco around.

@ricardotongol567 Yes, they did-a good opportunity to help them to survive.
El video es excelente pero hay una corrección: la imagen que se señala como viaductor del río Toro es incorrecta: el viaducto del río Toro es muchísimo más largo, reticulado y se encuentra muchos kilómetros al sur, cuando la vía comienza a internarse en la cordillera luego de la estación Campo Quijano.
Thank You for clarification, online maps are bit inconsistent, on some places this is San Antonio river (or quebrada which would be a ravine), while some maps list this as well as Rio Toro. Line crosses Rio Toro downstream to Salta several times with some longer viaducts, not sure which would be The "Rio Toro Viaduct".
@@ZvonimirZelenika muchas gracias a ud. El viaducto del río Toro es impresionante porque cruza el río Toro con 8 enormes columnas metálicas reticuladas que sostienen las vías. Es uno de los más bellos viaductos del tren pero está varios kilómetros al sur. Excelente su video.
That's a pretty serious climb across the route as a whole.
There's a lot of South America that's characterized by this "harshly beautiful" setting.
Interestingly, there are a number of railways in the Andes and/or the Altiplano that are of something like a 1,600-mm broad gauge, for whatever reason.
It's too bad that, to my knowledge, the once-famous railway across Ecuador, including the switchbacks across the formation known as "the Devil's Nose", was never properly rebuilt after rounds of flooding in the 1980s and '90s.
There's an old National Geographic special that features some footage from that route.
EDIT: Upon further review, there may be some limited services that would allow one to ride the full length of the line from Guayaquil to Quito, Ecuador.
@Villoresi Very interesting. I do not know that one. Will take a look. Many of the great routes in South America are not operational anymore or are operational just for freight...I did document some more journeys around there...
It gets pretty complicated in South America - South Chile and Argentina use 5,5-foot Iberian gauge (1676mm, same as Spain/Portugal, but also India/Pakistan). Belgrano and other railways north of Bueno Aires and to north Chile (Antofagasta) are meter-gauge (1000mm), same as are lines in Bolivia. Peru is on standard gauge (1435mm), same as Uruguay and northeast parts of Argentina, Ecuador on meter-gauge, but in 3,5 foot (1067mm) and Colombia has three-foot narrow-gauge (914mm). Brazil is mix of its own, with both meter-gauge (1000mm) and Irish gauge (1600mm, 5,25 foot) with also some standard gauge (1435mm) metros.
@@ZvonimirZelenika That certainly makes things "interesting".
Russian standard gauge at least was 4 ft, 10 in (1,473 mm), which gave the Germans fits in WWII, even without the Russians being such good pillagers.
The Durango to Silverton and Cumbres and Toltec Railroads are 3-ft gauge.
And thanks to a British engineer (who else), the local services in Japan are on 3-ft, 6-in gauge.
@@RailRelaxation That's quite unfortunate if a number of those routes are lost.
It definitely strikes me as a tourist opportunity that could help their economies down there.
Kind of like how, if the Middle East could stop blowing itself up, there's all that history they could showcase to visitors, and not be so dependent on oil or opium, or whatever else.
@Villoresi For sure those would be a very interesting and promising tourist opportunities. There are some very interesting tourist lines in Brazil, for example Curitiba/Morretes that I filmed and published on the channel.
Hallo Rail Relaxation, great vodeo. Are these wild donkeys?
@josefh. Hello. I believe so. There are lots of them along the way.
Wow i was looking like 1 month ago document about this rail
@foxgamesk97 what a coincidence. Enjoy it

@sebastiankierzkowski2091 Thank you for your suggestion.
No, kaj takega. Če sem prav videl, naj bi višinomer pokazal cel 4286 m nadmorske višine.
Skoraj kot Tibet... Veličastno. Lep pozdrav vsem iz Slovenije.
@janezblond5335 Ja, to je ena izmed najvišjih železniških prog na svetu.
It's a shame they don't do the full route more. There are some old videos of the complete route from Salta where you can see the tunnels, viaducts and the famous loops.
@ROBERTMXM I would love to do the whole route, but it is just this part that is operational for passenger traffic.
Only Freight trains operate the entire line.
Best of the briz ❤❤❤❤❤I love may relve ❤❤❤❤❤❤m,h, pathar hamapur gujrat India
I want to see more donkeys in your future videos!

Я слышал что в Польше в городе Вольштын есть пригородные маршруты где на постоянной основе используют паравозы
@ЛесШишкин-ю2ц I know that in Poland there are a lot of old steam locomotives still in use...but I thought that they are just for touristic rides.
How strong is the wind blowing around viaduct Polvorilla?
Not much, note the flag on the drone footage at the end.
прикольно)))
@Stas1661 thanks.
Could be really nice adding TH point so can compare loc's acceleration.
quando vem no brasil dnv falta fazer estrada de ferro carajas vale
@Evertonmz94 este é o plano...
@@RailRelaxation se puder fazer ferrovia do aço, da MRS Logística, seria uma honra!
@@satan361 Obrigado pela sua sugestão. Vou estudar a possibilidade.
c' è un albero ?
At 4000 meters - not really. This is well above the tree line. 😊
👍👍👍
@aleu650 Thanks for visiting.

@HuberHeinrichHuber Greetings to Thailand.
Seems to have British-style semaphore signals. Engineered by a Brit?
@davidpanton3192 It was Richard Fontaine Maury who designed this railway.
👍
@bolesawkukuniek1605 Thanks.
Zakaj ves čas trobi, čemu je namen tega?
Why is he using his horn so often?
Those old (1970's !) US trains are so underpowered... and altitude doesn't help matters ! I know it's expensive to bring electricity but it would be such a great improvement !
@NPK06 Oh, yes. But it would be very expensive. Imagine the terrain, the altitude...
La leyenda dice que, entre los trabajadores croatas que participaron en su construcción, estuvo el Mariscal Tito...
@cello1972 Interessante. Nunca escuché esto.
Not likely, there are many Croatians in Argentina (mostly came in late 19th century from Dalmatia), but I haven't seen nowhere info that Tito was in Argentina. His movements in 1920s and 1930s are quite well established and documented, so not sure he had time to drop by to Argentina...
3871m is almost 13,000 feet.
@DreamMonster7X It is one of the highest railways on the whole world.
Faltaría traducir en castellano , los paisajes son más que hermosos
@hugoblanco3925 hay una traducción de la descripción del video en español.
Una vergüenza que el tren no parta de Salta Capital como era antes.
Cuántos años hace !!! Y no repararon el túnel .
Ahhh pero la tarifa bien saladita.!!!
non si passa ? si torna indietro ? No, si riprende dal retro
@lostorico2043 On the other side of the viaduct there is no space to turn around, so this happen before the viaduct....
Dieses ständige gehupe nervt brutal.
@multifunktionsnutzvieh 👍
Well-intentioned advice: Don't do it if you are there. It's the biggest tourist rip-off in Argentina. 😊 But still - impressive route.
Well, we can see it this way without falling into a tourist trap. Though on the other though, if You travel across to the other side of the world, sometimes it's worth to fall into some of them as they are still really unique. 😀
