Apologies ..... as the sort of British visitor to Peru who WOULD have been totally fascinated by such a siding, I have to regret that my visit to Hidroelectrica was far too brief - only between arrival and departure of the 'local' train - and I failed to notice that little gem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) I was looking for some pics of Deltics at Bradford Interchange and it seems that the King Cross to Bradford trains regularly had two restaurant cars (RMB & RU???) which seems a bit OTT for a train with only five passenger coaches!
