Ride the Ferrocarril Central Andino! Part 2: 14 tunnels in 20 KM!

Click here for Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4Yyti9K9cg
Ride aboard a GE C39-8 as we climb through the mountains on the Central Railway of Peru. The climb from Matucana to San Mateo is one of the most scenic parts of the line (its all spectacular though!) with 14 tunnels, 1 tall steel viaduct and two switchbacks in the span of just 20 Kilometers. The grades average 4% for much of this segment and the locomotive is working hard, plenty of great FDL sounds! This is truly one of the most spectacular lines in the world and I think you will agree after watching this! Part 3 coming soon!
