On one trip to Argentina, in Patagonia riding in the cab of a Henschel, I noted the fireman pulled out a pot for yerba mate, the local brewing bark, as we neared a stop. At the stop the brakemen joined us, the fireman tapped the boiler for boiling water and a pot was made up quickly, shared among those gathered. I can only imagine what beyond yerba mate and water was consumed from the water...
