Returning to the topic, in Lima there are various railroad items plinthed in parks, mostly being coaches, but there are also some surprises. Now I show you only two, with the warning that images quality is very low because were taken with a mobile phone and my one is especially bad.
The first one is a wooden bodied coach sitting in a park of Pueblo Libre district (the name is not connected with Karl Marx but with the "libertador" Bolivar). There are not marks on the body nor any explanation sign but I imagine it came from the Ferrocarril Central because of size, appropriate for a long journey. The second one instead is a FCCA relic for sure, being a JT26CW from EMD. Loco 706 is plinthed in the "Parque del Porvenir" that, against the bombastic name, is a modest garden in La Victoria district. This monument is different because the loco was not only plinthed but also emptied and all the content, prime movers, generators, air compressors and so on, was plinthed on his side. This is one of the 16 cylinders prime movers. Hope this can be interesting.
