Puerto Deseado line extra photos
These photos were not required for the main pages, but might still be of interest for real connoisseurs!

An early shot of the road side of Puerto Deseado station buuilding. There are coaches to the left in the platform.

A recent photo of the same building, in December 2000. Unfortunately the building is currently empty.

Whilst most sidings have been removed, the main line and platform tracks are still just about complete.

And a close up view taken at the same time in December 2000.

Puerto Deseado loco shed. The right hand road appears to have been sealed up professionally some time ago, but the left hand doorway has just been temporarily boarded up.

Fitz Roy station.The station building is inhabited as a private house.

A back view of the same building.

The photos below by Guillermo Bohrdt show two varieties of circular water tower along the line. There were also square tanks made up of 'Braithwaite' type panels, also on stone bases.

A bus passenger's view heading east towards Puerto Deseado. On the left a water tower and derelict station building can be seen - I think at either Antonio de Biedma or Pampa Alta.
