The Old Patagonian Express - La Trochita


LA TROCHITA WORKSHOPS
 

El Maitén station is the central workshop of La Trochita, where it operates an important group of specialized technicians that we could denominate, with fair admiration, "rail alchemists", who put all the will to the service and maintenance of this historical train. 

For him no longer exist original reserves, but he needs them. It is then when their technicians 
become unrecoverable magicians: they repair the hopeless thing and they invent with accuracy the necessary thing. 

To them we owe that this "midget" among the trains continues on the rails, proud still spite their littleness, transforming into scale model a so gigantic one how wonderful patagonian scenario.

Today, without hurry (but without pause) the hands of their artisans maintain in circulation to this errant relic that is the Old Patagonian Express, or "La Trochita". The workshops can be visited concerting dates with the Central Office in El Maitén
