The name

The article currently states that "It is known as the Train of the Clouds because clouds can be often be seen around and under the bridges and slopes of the landscape through which the railway passes." Can anyone confirm this? Doesn't it seem more likely that the name simply originates from the fact that the train is literally taking you up into the clouds? -- Gsv (talk) 19:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the correct name is to the clouds. "Through which", and "into" both mean the same thing. "Of" would mean the train itself was made of clouds. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 19:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strange

Tren a las Nubes#The Tren a las nubes today. Why run the train for the whole route length in winter and not in summer? This paragraph makes no logical sense. Peter Horn 02:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Part thru Chile

Tren a las Nubes; why was the part thru Chile to the coast never built? Peter Horn 18:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Pete, it is built, problem i believe is that some stretches in the Andes are a different rail gauge and part of it is rack railway cause of the climb, i will be studying topic in depth shortly and I'll keep you informed! A tunnel is also in the plans for uninterrupted service between the oceans, now that they've found out that rail cargo transport is far less expensive and can carry far greater payloads than truck ∞ Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 18:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two mistakes

Locomotives used in the service are not GE, but GM. More precisely, EMD GT22CU. None of the metre-gauge GE locos in Argentina would be fit for the steep grades and high altitudes of the line.
It's a quite extended mistake to equate Tren a las Nubes with the C.14 line, the train runs on parts of C.13 (Güemes-Alemanía) and C.14 (Cerrillos-Socompa). Salta-Cerrillos is done on C.13, and the remainder on C.14.

I've amended the article accordingly. Cinabrium (talk) 22:09, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
