Apart from the 3 systems covered separately, this gallery will cover those lines north of Santiago on which we have pictures available. These comprise the state owned broad gauge line to Valparaiso, the metre gauge, FC de Iquique a Pueblo Hundido also state owned and the FC Arica - La Paz along with the two 3ft 6in gauge nitrate systems that passed to the Socied Quimica y Minera de Chile SA in 1968. The latter are the FC Tocopilla al Toco and the since closed FC de Taltal a Cachinal, abandoned in 1976. The future of the FC Tocopilla al Toco is in doubt following a severe washout.
