We continue our search for filming locations for 1970s “Companeros” As mentioned last week the story is told by Yodlaf ‘The Penguin’ Petersen in flashback. A passenger train arrives in the town of San Bernardino and ‘The Penguin’, the only passenger departing, uncouples the boxcar from the last passenger car and signals the engineer to proceed. As the train exits the small station Yodlaf approaches the station office only to discover it covered with revolutionary slogans and dead soldiers with notes laying on their bodies. Yodlaf leaves the office and walks to the box car. Opening it he retrieves a pistol from his satchel and attaches a timing mechanism to the underside of the box car and attaches the wires to a box of dynamite. He closes the door and switches the sign on the side of the box car from “Explosives” to “Infectious Vaccines”. He then walks away.
This location was filmed in the town Villamanta, Spain only the station remains today.
