Appendix 6

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.

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.
