Modern photos of Ingeniero Jacobacci station and facilities

These pictures were taken in May 2011, and are provided particularly for modellers who might be interested in reproducing parts of the layout. A track plan will be added when time permits.

The transshipment shed from the east. The left (south) side of each platform has a broad gauge track, whilst the right (north) side has a narrow gauge line.

Henschel no. 150 stands on a trestle by the side of the running shed. Its tender is nearby. It is reputedly reserved for preservation in Buenos Aires but seems in no hurry to leave Ing. Jacobacci.

Henschel 2-8-2 no. 139 on display at the extreme west of the town, beyond the main road level crossing. The main line west is just behind the brick wall in the background.
