- A video report of a tour of Ecuador, using the train each time this was possible. All the existing railways in Ecuador were used, even though this video is limited to the legendary Guayaquil & Quito railroad, the "railroad in the sky". A tour by Railway Touring company.
soy Colombiana pero amo Ecuador es como mi segundo hogar mi hermano vive en Quito con sus hijas que nacieron en Quito y cada ves quea Ecuador me enamoro mas y mas de ese pais en el 2019 si Dios me lo permite me ire a vivir a Quito pero muero por conocer mas lugares de ese hermosisimo pais viajo a cada rato a Ecuador y como dije es mi segundo hogar muy pronto sera mi primer y unico hogar amo la gente ecuatoriana me gusta el asento su manera der son una calidad de personas increibles lo unico malo del Ecuador es que todavia no estoy haya viviendo pero bueno ya pronto lo estare con el poder y la ayuda de Dios!!! que hermoso tren que lindo y buen video cuando vaya espero que todavia este este gran tren en servicio para poder montar con mi hija con ella voy a disfrutar las maravillas de ese hermoso pais ECUADOR!!!.
Gracias por tu cariño a mi país, cuando sea eres bienvenida :)
This is beautiful video. This would be the trip of a lifetime.
Ecuador is a nice place to go. Most of my family is Ecuadorian. The last time I visited Ecuador was in 2010 and I don’t remember much and I don’t think I’ve ever see its rail system either until now. I’m very surprised that most of the railroad crossings don’t work and they all have WCH Electronic Bells which is neat.
Every sequel is a perfect composition.
Love my train! Lot of memories going to school in Riobamba Las Marianitas!
My hat's off to the track maintenance crews, the railroad is in phenomenal shape!
Yes and they certainly deserve our admiration: the weather can be incredibly rainy and landslides, sometimes very impressive, are quite frequent.
@@KochersbergTV I remember hearing about the landslides, glad they got them repaired. It's funny, I've been a train fan my whole life, but i recently (a year ago) took a job as track maintenance on a shortline here in the USA, and now whenever I watch video's like these I find myself looking at the track as much as the trains!
In terms of landslides, one of the problems they are facing is the soil in the upper part of the line. Th line is established closed to two big volcanoes, one of which is still active. Those covered the area with thick layers of ash, which is easily washed away during the rainy season. El Niño is particularly dangerous in this respect.
@@KochersbergTV That makes sense, wet volcanic ash behaves a lot like chocolate pudding! We're actually dealing with a similar problem on one of our RR's, it's built in a valley that was filled in by volcanic activity however many thousands of years ago, but on one section a deep ditch parallels the railroad. Local development is causing much more water to flow into the ditch than used to, and our railroad is trying to slip into the ditch. one spot in particular just keeps taking more and more rock, with no end in sight. We get the track leveled up nicely, then a couple weeks later the rail next to the ditch has sunk back down.
Aqui SE puede apreciar algunas regions del Ecuador en el viajes en tren. De la Costa a la Sierra subiendo Los Andes!cambiando la grog raffia, el ambiente, el clima! Bello Ecuador.! UNICO!
Very beautiful steam train indeed.
Great update on the 1980s BBC Great Little Train Journeys - The Good and the Quick. Fantastic quality recording; really does show off that amazing scenery. Thank you!
I remember seeing that. Fell in love with The Good and the Quick from watching it over and over again on VHS tape video recording.
Conociendo Ecuador en tren y sus montañas......lindo video
Yo viaje como unos 15 años atrás, en aquel entonces nos fuimos trepados en el techo de los vagones , una experiencia inolvidable, super peligrosa pero inolvidable, lo malo es que ahora los precios son carísimos.
Thank You for the Fantastic tour.Beautiful video. Your Country is beautiful
This journey is very beautiful
It is indeed, but I am not sure whether you could do it nowadays.
Congratulations for This video. I'm live in Ecuador.
Qué hermoso tránsito me encanta ojalá sigan funcionando saludos desde Argentina
The livery of that last locomotive looks so smart! It's a nice change of pace from all the black liveries.
I fully agree with you.
INOLVIDABLES RECUERDOS!!! CUANTOS VIAJES CON MI PADRE A SU HACIENDA"BARRAGANETAL??. MUCHAS VECES POR TREN , OTRAS A CABALLO...FUE MARABILLOSO!!!.
Muchas gracias por este video.Soy ecuatoriano y aun no he viajado en este tren,algun dia lo hare.Thanks so much for filming this video.I like it.
Que precioso tren saludos desde Mexico espero lo concerven. ..para sienpre. ..👍
Very interesting video - Diesel locomotives with three trucks!! One note - "Beautiful #14" is a 2-6-0, not a 2-8-0, not detracting the least from it's beauty (see opening shot)!!
The three trucks diesel locomotives are French made, by Alsthom. They should be called B-B-B. Interestingly the same type of locomotives is also used in Burma (nowadays Myanmar). You can see them on my corresponding videos.
@@KochersbergTV Or BO-BO-BO
What is the rail gauge here??
Its so beautiful in Ecuador. Has there a great time :)
This is a wonderful video. I am green with envy! Thank you for this very professional upload.
.
I find the countryside very very different from what I perceived Ecuador to look like.
Ditto..
Sangatbagus bisa brnostalgia thn70an. Bolossekolah naikkereta.
El ruido de la locomotora me encanta , yo fui de Quito - a Riobamba
Assistindo hoje , lmento a tristeza do coronavirus em Ecuador , que Deus os proteja.
I have some photos of #53 on the ground in Bucay in 1994. I am glad it has been rebuilt.
In India Broad gauge Baldwin are used till 1994 and Metre gauge Yokohama Japan till 1998 .Now most of trunk routes are electrified having ABB and Diesel locos Alco, EMD of GE makes
Apart from the Bullet Trains, Japan has always been 3'6" which is roughly 3" wider than meter gauge
வணக்கம் 💐👍 Beautiful capture 💐👍 Congratulations 💐👍🌻🌻🌻
Another brilliant video! I'd love to go to Ecuador one day!
Good idea, but the railway company went bankrupt early this year and to the best of my knowledge, all operations are stopped. Check before you go.
@@KochersbergTV Thank you for the heads up!
I am stunned, i read a book that tells about all the locomotives and from the authors point of view of the first part exactly. And the book was printed almost 40 years ago. And still they have the same engines (like the Nr. 14!)
Actually a good part of the mountain near Huigra collapsed in 1998 (because of El Niño rain). The railway was closed for about 15 years and resumed operations for tourist purposes only. That is to say that tourists prefer to see the good old steam locomotives even though the French made diesel engines are interesting as well.
Fantastic video
Thanks for making this video because it gave me inspiration to make the Ecuador railroad crossings in Roblox! Now people know that Ecuador exists!
I like the rolling stock... looks fun!
Minuto..2:23 Sensacional imagen contrasta con la edificación antigua.Saludos desde Colombia🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
Muy bonitos paisajes. buen video. Claro que el tren es lo mas importante.
Hasta cuando tenemos que esperar por un tren de transporte interprovincial, para terminar con los accidentes de los buses, ya es hora que el Ecuador tenga un transporte férreo y eléctrico.
Porque el transporte es una mafia, los mismos oficiales y agentes tienen buses y cooperativas y también tienen presencia en ministerios de transporte. Dígame cuándo esto será posible, encima tenemos un presidente sin pantalones que prefiere contar chistes antes que enfrentar a las mafias en beneficio de las mayorías.
Original avec le groupe folklorique , ces belles vieilles locomotives qui font découvrir la beauté des villages et paysages de ces pays de l'Amérique du Sud
Que hermosa locomotora 🚂🚂🚂
Great countryside nice red Baldwin locos
Baldwin always manufacture good locomotives!
Can't argue with that!
Solo quedan recuerdos maldito lenín 😭
Yes. Lamentably so.
Well, whaddaya know? They have the long-long-short-long crossing sequence, too! Must be standard for the Americas.
NADA COMO VIAJAR EN TREN, y ecuador es fantástico,
deberian hacer una locomotora para el pueblo como antes con precios economicos esta bien est tren crucero para los turistas pero para nosotros deberia haber una locomotora para el puewblo y poder disfrutar como antes y aquellas generaciones nuevas q no an disfrutado como hijos y deberian habilitar la estacion del recinto la primavera que esta abandonado donde vive mi abuelita esta botado sin poderr hacer recursos economicos espero president correa haga esta peticion
+zully nathaly guerrero jimenez Me temo que un tren para el pueblo ahora no pudiera competir con los buses baratos que atraversan todo el pais. Sino vi en Riobamba unos trenes de tipo "suburbano" evidentemente no intentados para turistas. Quizás?
+zully nathaly guerrero jimenez Completamente de Acuerdo con su COMENTARIO !!!
Sabes, tu idea no es tan descabellada, pero creo que para eso, como se hizo en la India, un magnate construyó una línea y una empresa privada sólo para el uso público, supongo que con locomotoras rápidas o al menos de buen caballaje, y que arrastren varios coches de dos pisos, además de poner un precio muy competitivo a los buses interprovinciales, se puede lograr una mayor capacidad de viajeros y de ganancias... pero lastimosamente ningún empresario ecuatoriano desea arriesgarse a ganar dinero así.
Boi
At the start expected to see the motor bike fall over as loco passed thumbs up for video
Believe it or not, but most motorbikes you see on this video, at least the read ones, are actually running ahead of the train in order to check the level crossings and close them as the need arises...
Awesome video! It is always nice to see trains in foreign cultures. I would like to know what "feep" on the side of the tank car means, Google Translate couldn't help me. Is Tren Ecuador a tourist line or commercial railway?
Thank you for your nice comment. FEEP means Ecuador Railways Public Enterprise (Ferrocarrilesf del Ecuador, Empresa Publica, I believe). The status of the railway is a bit special. On the one hand it is a public company. On the other hand, they organise trains only for tourist purposes. In Riobamba, I saw refurbished coaches, which look like they could be used for a kind of suburban traffic, but to the best of my knowledge, they are not in regular use.
Very nice journey
ESA rel ko Dekh ke Mera man khusa ho Gaya ha love you rel
Very good sound and video.. Thanks...M
Well, you can tell those are American built steam locomotives... distinct features all the way up to the multi chime whistles.

fentastic equetar railroads
Me gustó el sistema ferroviário de Equador. Lo único que lamentar es los trenes de vapor . Contaminan mucho , necesitan ser reemplazados o modernizados. Abrazos desde Brasil.
The pollution is not just a question of black smoke. The many buses replacing or complementing the train in Ecuador are polluting much more than these locomotives. Diesel engines, especially when poorly maintained produce a lot of nano particles, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide which are equally polluting. The nastier pollution is usually not visible. And I am afraid Brazil is no example in this respect.
@@KochersbergTV, You are right . The whole world suffers from polluition . Here in Brazil ,there are few steam trains and are used only for tourism . But , as you said , the greatest evil is the burning of fossil fuels .
Do you live in Ecuador , are you a tourist, or do you work on reporting ? Thank you for this vídeo .
Greetings From Brazil.
I do not live in Ecuador, but in France. When I can travel, which is not the case for the moment, I always look for a train to film. I visited the train in Tiradentes (Minas Gerais) some years ago, but I had no camera with me.
Mr. Kochersberg TV , I am from the state of Minas Gerais and live 60 km , away Tiradentes. You are privileged to live in beautiful France . I appreciate the French people , who are very cordial . I´m from Edith Piaf , Charles Asnavour , Christophe , Alain Barriere , Mireile Mathieu , Salvatore Adamo , Sylvie Vartan , Johnny Halliday , among others. Paris is an open air Museum . Thank you for your chivalry.
Un Adieu -- Un Revoir -- Merci Beaucup. Les Salutations au Brezil.
trackwork is perfect. wow.
9:02 so there is an automatically operated barrier crossing on this line! (not that they all work properly)
10:38 those are the kind of cars that belong behind the steam engine!
Nice video! Do steam engines still operate regularly in Ecuador?
Yes they sell operate, even a bit more than shown on my video.
Yes finally, a clip of a working Ecuador crossing in the video. I wish they made these work
Very nice machinery!!!Why dont they guard the road-crossings????
Todo precioso. El %99.9 estabam vacios. Ojala no los quiten.
Estes trenes parecen vacíos porque se trataba de un viaje especial para aficionados. Eso incluye normalmente foto paradas. Durante esas paradas, los coches son vacíos porque los fotógrafos están afuera del tren, sacando fotos.
I take it crossing gates down there are just for decorative purposes only, lol.
+Rebel9668 Indeed. Most do not work and those which do usually close when the train is already on the crossing. This is the reason why the trains are preceded by kamikazes on motorbike to stop the traffic at a great risk (for them!).
La Maquina del tren es bonita,pero lamentablemente es mucha contaminacion.
lo mismo pense
Bardzo uroczy kraj ,piękne egzotyczne dla Polaka miejsca
contaminante y pocos usuarios paisajes preciosos no creo q siga funcionado mucho mas tiempo un saludo buen video
La locomotoras no contaminan mas que los buses y los coches numerosos que viajan en todo el pais. La contaminación que se ve no esta siempre la mas peligrosa. Una locomotora sola puede transportar centenas de pasajeros. Para hacer lo mismo, se necesitan docenas de buses, cada uno con un motor que contamina mucho también.
No lo sé pero a mí personalmente no me gusta nada ver toda esa cantidad de humo saliendo de esa locomotora, aunque afortunadamente al parecer también tiene otros trenes mucho más eficientes y modernos. Ojalá que algún día todos sean trenes eléctricos ✌️✌✌
How many working crossings did you encounter and where are they? ¿Cuántos cruces de trabajo encontró y dónde están?
No railroad crossings was working correctly. The trains were accompanied by motorcyclists, charged with ensuring the security when crossing main roads. If you look carefully, you can see some of them in the first minutes of the video.
I also discovered that the crossing at 9:02 was removed by using google maps
@@KochersbergTV can you make a video only about Ecuadorian railroad crossings with the footage you have?
Sorry, but I am not going to do that. I have more interesting things to do, especially as this railway is now bankrupt and I do not feel like being a nuisance to it.
@@KochersbergTV wAIT THE RAILWAY IS GONE?
supre video ..................100%
Many years ago a terrible earthquake destroyed the line from UIO-GYE,Has it been revived?
It was a landslide, in 1998, due to the heavy rains of a strong El Niño phenomenon, not an earthquake. And as you can see on the video, this line between Durán (Guyaquil) and Quito is now operational.The branch line between Huigra and Cuenca is only partially operational and not likely to be repaired.
Are the locomotives American Built? Their designs just ring "Baldwin" to me.
They are Baldwin locomotives indeed.
@@KochersbergTV And ALCO
The whistle gives it away. :-)
One of these engines is the last steamer Baldwin ever built. On my bucket list to see.
Yes, Consolidations and Moguls
Excellent.
Where other besides here and all of North America do they use the - - o - for crossings
how come there is nobody in it ? they wont be making money running it empty all the time .
Good point! Actually, all those trains were charters. So, the passengers had gone out to take pictures of the train.
Actually, there was someone on it... at 5:18 you can see him flipping off the camera man!
10:52. Now THAT'S a switchback !!!
15:28 Those bovines look like real railfans !!!
17:12 For those who don't know, the spinning white circles are not the wheels. They're counterbalances for the siderods. This is an 'outside frame' loco. Wheels are behind / within the frame, just hard to see..
The place is called "the devil's nose"
I enjoy seeing working steam engines, but am disappointed that even oil fired boilers are so overfired that they belch black smoke almost constantly. It should be relatively easy to adjust the oil delivery system to burn efficiently.
I suppose you realize that the staff knew I was there, filming. Apparently they were convinced I wanted a lot of smoke (and they wanted a tip!). It is not the case, but many people do. Otherwise, they are competent firemen.
Hantes era hermoso viajar en tren porque el costo era economico y servia para el comercio entre la costa y la sierra yo biajaba cuando era niña con mi madtecita de Riobamba a Milagro era economico ahora solo viajan por turismo a que altos precios
Claro que era más económico, pero viajabas como animal, no sea tonta para comentar... el tiempo avanza y todo tiene su precio, comente en bien esta pagina ven muchos extranjeros, oh nooooo!!!
Me too
Great Video! Did you get to use Locomotive #18 at Ibarra or Otavalo?
+parkerfly2000 Unfortunately not. I saw her out of order in Ibarra depot. Not sure what the problem was, but the right cylinder was open: damages due to priming? Instead we had a brand new railcar, but obviously the staff was not used to making photo-(video)-stops, hence no video (nor still pictures for that matter). A pity as there are a few interesting spots along that route, not to speak of the turntable in Otavalo.
+KochersbergTV, Sorry to hear that. In my opinion, #18 is the most beautiful locomotive in Ecuador (2-8-0, inside frame), and runs really smooth. I actually don´t remember the right cylinder being opened after the rebuild. Nevertheless, the left cylinder was opened about a month ago to inspect for damages after a problem with the left main rod, but it turned out to be fine. The locomotive is back on the track now. Your shots of locomotives #14 and #58 are beautiful. I noticed that this is not the regular Tren Crucero ride. Was it a charted ride?
+parkerfly2000 Sorry, my mistake: it was the left (portside) cylinder. And yes, I rode only charter trains from Guayaquil to Salinas, partly steam partly diesel. The only disappointment was of course the closure of the line in the vicinity of the erupting Cotopaxi volcano. Before Ecuador, we also visited the turistren in Bogotá, Colombia and I also published a video of it.
Una pregunta ese humo que expulsa no contamina el ambiente?
Sí pero no mas que las locomotoras diesel. La contaminación que se ve no esta siempre la más peligrosa.
06min. Why this big machine is pulling 3 small wagons?
The number of coaches is adapted to the number of passengers... and they have no smaller locomotives. Consider also that this line is sometimes very steep, such that trains are usually kept relatively short.
They seem to have eucalipti i n Ecuador, an Australian native tree, see @25:00. OK now a question: Why is 2-8-0 No58 pulling a fuel-tank wagon, since it is a steam engine?
Oh, I just thought ... is it water? Don't they have many water towers on the alti-plano?
They are oil burner. They do not burn coal.
Well then, why isn't the beautiful No14 pulling one?
Whether the tank wagon contains water or fuel (I would opt for the latter), its presence is probably justified by the fact No. 58 was making a much longer journey than No. 14. As for Eucalyptus trees, yes, there are plenty of those in Ecuador. Apparently they were planted as fire-wood as they grow faster than the indigenous species they now replace. Not unique in the world. I saw plenty in Eritrea as well, for the same reason plus fighting erosion.
OK, probably fuel then. By the way, nice movie, and I can prove it: I want to go visit there now.
👏👍
Are they brakemen on the tender and cars?.
There was a lot of people on the tender. Not sure what they were all doing there, but they were not brake-men. As for brake men, they were occasionally present on the train, even though the locomotives seem to be fitted with a donkey pump.
Lovely black beauty steam engine. But why only three boggies?it seems that initially train is running without passengers. Why?otherwise nice vedio and coverage. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind comment. The trains seem to be empty, because they were charters and at every photo stop, all passengers disembarked, precisely to take pictures or videos.
Que saudade da 2-8-0
How far is this from the Colombian border?
+William Roberts (“7822WelshSteam”) Considering the political situation, I would not consider driving to Ecuador. But there are many flights from Bogota to Quito. And you can take the train in Quito.
KochersbergTV There are about 5 hours by car from Ipiales (Colombian border) to Quito.
Trenes & estadios los más grandes del mundo nunca se llenan zz. Si entran 20 a 1 dólar ,que entren 40 a 50 ctv i las familias hacen más turismo ,la economía está en la ((M)) pron no habrá para pagar a los pipones ,,,
No. 14 is rojo
What size is this gauge?
This is three foot gauge.
Looks like 3' gauge to me.. Love that, what, 40Lb. rail.. Funny how concrete ties have found their way even to the remotest of places.. I guess they save money in the long run by lasting way longer than wood..
All Ecuadorian railways are 3', 6" gauge.
what is the gauge??
The gauge is 3 foot 6 i.e. 1067 mm
Looks like 3' to me..
Gauge system is also unique
Ferrovia sem nenhuma logística, uma locomotiva deste tamanho com apenas 3 carros de passageiro e vazios, isto não paga nem o diesel da loc.
These were charters, not regular commercial trains. The passengers jump off the train for taking pictures whenever possible such that you may be erroneously thinking the train is empty.
