I really enjoy seeing the photos from this part of the world. I notice that it is common to have screens over the windshields in Central and South America. I never witnessed this in the U.S. until I saw an Amtrak locomotive with screens. It wasn't in person but I saw it in a movie from 1980s that supposedly was filmed in Boston.

jdayrail, Yes, similar cab shields were applied to most all of the Penn Central, then Amtrak EMD E-units that operated between Boston and New Haven. This was for crew protection after some individuals thought to drop cement blocks and such items off the many street overpasses along this route onto passing trains. Some Boston MBTA units also had the screens.

Hello! I studied abroad in Mendoza and was so sad to see the abandoned train station and the disrepair of the tracks.
I wonder, where exactly is Capdeville? I would have loved to have been near an active rail line.
