About 10 years ago I was in the Atacma desert and it is indeed a desolate place. How could such a low population area support electric rail transportation? And, any idea when the coupler was installed? What a sad ending.
Apparently, 22 PCCs went to Chile. This one was separated and abandoned after it derailed. The rest were taken to their new roles railway company offices and storage.
