En General:
We present Paraguay with text and images, with 15 pictures
The history of the Paraguayan Railroad
Two pages with old 27 black and white pictures, we count them the envelope of the paraguayan Railroad.
The itinerary
The old itinerary is shown in a map and it is shown the cities that were visited lately by the train (many pictures).
The Railroad Station in Asunción
One of the buildings most pretty of Asunción; the first engine in Paraguay and in front are the repair place (many pictures)
A trip
We participate in one of the last trips and we interview each one of the travelers. At the same time our secund team, took the fotos from the vehicle ( a heap of pretty pictures).
Encarnación
From the city Encarnación we show the movement until the frontier with Argentina. The train travels without measures of security through the city, incredible! (many pictures)
The assault
The report of a real fact-the assault to the salaries of the railway workers. We interview the peoples who transports the money, a history like far west!
Sapucai
A sad view and at the same time fascinating. The main repair place of the Paraguayan railroad. A gigantic cemetery, with a heap of engines and boxcars made scrap and partially covered by trees. In the enormous place they get ready the engines with very simple means. The engines have among 50 to 90 years! (6 pages and many very interesting pictures).
The Engines
All the engines of Paraguay are shown with their corresponding technical data.
The Telegraph
About the beginning of the telegraph in Paraguay
The End?
The accident who ends with the operation of the Paraguayan railroad. One week before the tragic accident we finish our CD and we could add that happened with pictures of the rail disaster
