History of the Train to the Clouds<\/h2>\n

The authorities of the General Belgrano railways decided to\u00a0create this touristic project in November, 1971<\/strong>.
\nAfter that first trip with politicians and journalists only, the Train to the Clouds has become a world-famous attraction.<\/p>\n

The first official touristic trip took place in 1972 and continued until 1990 when the national railways were privatized.
\nFrom 1991 up to 2014, the Train to the Clouds was managed by local capitals. Before the governor Juan Manuel Urtubey recovered it under the SFTSE society. Started providing a service under international quality and safety standards.<\/p>\n

According to journalist and writer Luis Borelli,\u00a0the name \u201cTrain to the Clouds\u201d comes from a 60s film crew who travelled through these tracks between Salta and Socompa before the touristic boom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When they reached the viaduct called La Polvorilla, the engine released vapour and, because of the low temperature, it didn\u2019t vanish immediately thus creating a cloud-like presence on the sides of the train.
\nThe film was given to a journalist working for Clar\u00edn, one of Argentina\u2019s biggest newspapers, who wrote the script for the documentary.<\/p>\n

When he saw the steam release, he immediately named the documentary \u201cTrain to the Clouds\u201d.
\nThe Argentine Railway Company used this same name for the (back then) only railway touristic enterprise: a 217 kilometer segment of the C14 branch.<\/p>\n
