| A GE Shovelnose inside Retiro station in 1990. This unit
was re-engined along with others during the 80s with 6-251D prime
movers, which were manufactured by the Argentinean company Materfer
under license of ALCo. 70 units were bought from 1950 on. Pedro Pablo Lacoste photo |

A pair of GE Shovelnoses (powered by ALCo 6-251D), headed by 6703
is coupled to a DMU. This is one of the last regular trains in 1991 to
the Chilenan border in the Andean Cordillera, in the state of Mendoza.
The original 244 engine of #6703 was replaced by a 251 at the beginning
of the 80s. Pedro Pablo Lacoste photo |
