coupling maneuver of this Hitachi-Mitsubishi BFA-32 locomotive, decades in use at Bolivia railway, this video is at Villazon station, Bolivia border with Argentina, year 2015

 
What are those things that look like exhaust pipes on the roofs of the passenger cars?
hi Bill, that is a called generator car, is a reformed passenger car provided with an electricity generator / power plant to provide the electricity for the entire train and all the appliances for the kitchen/dinning car, those pipes are the exhaust of the generator´s engine
 
Thanks. At the very end of the video I thought I saw those pipes on other cars in the train, but it was hard to tell due to the angle.
