"Operating Rail Adventures Since 1985"

TRAINS UNLIMITED, TOURS operates rail tours in North (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Central, and South America, Cuba, Russia, and China, on standard and narrow gauge trackage through some incredibly dramatic countryside.

The photographs which follow are representative of the equipment seen (or to be seen) on tours of Central and South America organized and directed by TRAINS UNLIMITED, TOURS.

They are not yet captioned nor further identified other than as made available by TRAINS UNLIMITED, TOURS or contributions from sharp-eyed and knowledgeable viewers or by the Webmaster.

{Certain scanned images from TU,T prints were so dark that they were lightened
artificially to show some detail (suffix "lt"). Others were marked with an ink
that was not permanent and offset onto the front of the facing photograph, which was
altered to minimize the visual impact of the offset lettering (suffix "al").
The keyed identifications below these images are so noted.}

Photographs identifed as "thumbnails" are in fact low-resolution copies of the larger
(in some cases, VERY much larger) originals, to speed loading, not to save page space.

For more oddball rail equipment see the Webmaster's Odder Boxcabs and related weird equipment on his Rail-Auto page.

If you like electric boxcabs, Clint Chamberlin has a whole page full! Also, there was a great feature on the twilight of "The King of the Rails", the Milwaukee Road's huge GE E-34, E-50a, and E-74 in the July 1973 TRAINS, pp. 29-38; quite literally the "End of Wire".
