Tren a las Nubes
The Tren a las Nubes ((英語:Train to the Clouds)) is a tourist train service in Salta Province, Argentina. The service runs along the eastern part of the Salta–Antofagasta railway line of the Belgrano Railway (also known as the "C-14" line) that connects the Argentine Northwest with the Chilean border in the Andes mountain range, over above mean sea level,〔(El Tren a las Nubes ) - El Sol, 07 April 2015〕 the fifth highest railway in the world. Originally built for economic and social reasons, it is now primarily of interest to tourists as a heritage railway, though cheaper tickets are also available for locals to use the train as transport.〔(Vuelve el Tren a las Nubes con descuentos para los salteños ) - La Gaceta, 04 February, 2015〕
==Overview==
The railway line has 29 bridges, 21 tunnels, 13 viaducts, 2 spirals and 2 zigzags.〔(Un nuevo capítulo del Tren a las Nubes ) - Welcome Argentina〕〔(Tren a las Nubes ) - Salta Argentina〕 Because of the design decision not to use a rack-and-pinion for traction, the route had to be designed to avoid steep grades.〔(El recorrido ) - Tren a las Nubes〕 The zigzags allow the train to climb up driving back and forth parallel to the slope of the mountain.
It departs from Salta every Saturday at 07:05, and returns around midnight,〔(Horarios ) - Tren a las Nubes, 2015〕 though most tourists simply do the 8-hour one-way trip and return by other means. The train is composed of a dining carriage, bar carriage, a first aid area and two passenger carriages with room for 170 people, though this is expected to increase to 400 over time.〔(Vuelve a funcionar el Tren a las Nubes ) - Telam, 03 April 2015〕
Currently, the train leaves Salta station for the 15-hour, round trip to the ''Polvorilla'' viaduct, located above sea level.〔(Un tren para tocar el cielo )- Perfil〕 The curved viaduct is long and high.〔(VIADUCTO LA POLVORILLA ) - Live Argentina〕 Once the train has left Salta, it first enters the ''Valle de Lerma'', and then the ''Quebrada del Toro'', before reaching the puna.〔(Les trains touristiques du monde - Tren a las Nubes ) - Routard〕 There are numerous stops along the way, some with markets selling artisan goods and locals offering regional cuisine.〔
