map[edit]

Much of the rails appear in open street map. Would be good to make an overlay layer (User:J. Johnson/OSM overlay how-to) based on the IGM map at http://resmy.fortunecity.ws/fcttmapa.jpg and the Binns sketch map, and show which lines built when, electrification etc...--Oldboltonian (talk) 22:59, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info on 65x +++[edit]

Si tengo información acerca de la serie E650, construida por Casagrande Motori y Chesta. Casagrande consteuyo todo lo que es el frame y Chesta la electronica de potencia para el control de tracción. Buscaré la información y se la hago llegar. Lo otro, leyendo su articulo, le sugiero: - Editar el titulo "Tocopilla Nitrate Railway" ya que se confunde o puede asimilarse con la empresa salitrera "Tocopilla Nitrate & Railway" que opero como una salitrera más en el sector Toco, y no se asimila al "Ferrocarril de Tocopilla al Toco" ( FCTT) construido por la Anglo-Chilean Nitrate& Railway Co.

- El numero de curvas en el sector Tocopilla-Barriles era de 219, no 263 como dicen algunas publicaciones.

-El radio minimo de curva era de 181 feet o 55 mts.
