Mainline stations 1, Victoria to Valdivia
We have sought out from the web views of as many of the stations possible noted in the itinerary. Some are modern views, some are very old views.
This page covers the southern mainline in order from Victoria down to Valdivia. The following appendix page continues the journey to Puerto Montt, and then another page covers the various southern branches.
Victoria
Modern Tren Ligero Diesel multiple unit on service to Temuco. This was one of four sets purchased second hand from RENFE (Spain) for use on the new Victoria to Puerto Montt service started in 2005 and soon afterwards abandoned.
Púa
Original station building showing characteristic form of roof.
Perquenquo
Now demolished.
Quillén
Lautaro
View showing upgraded station with lengthy platform canopy.
Pillanlelbún
Capricho
Temuco
The main building was opened in 1912, as with others, was replaced after the 1960 earthquake by a standard pattern reinforced concrete.structure.
Padre Las Casas
Metrenco
Quepe
Freire
This side might almost be a private house.
Pitrufquén
Gorbea
The building after doing-up in 2005 is still recognisable as the original. Note how the wooden supports for the canopy have been mounted in steel supports to keep them clear of the wet ground surface and thus reduce the possibility of rot.
Quitratúe
Lastarria
Loncoche
Lanco
Máfil
Antilhue
The first photo shows the original wooden-framed station building.
This was another station that later received a reinforced concrete building to replace the original, probably as a result of earthquake damage.
