A graveyard of steam trains, abandoned against the stark backdrop of the salt flats. Their cars sit scattered about like a set of forgotten children’s toys in the Bolivian desert, all left to quietly rust away. This is a real place, and these trains sit abandoned, yet not forgotten—they stand today as remnants of a time long past, carrying precious materials out to the Pacific Ports. So what could have led to this massive graveyard of trains? Well, it’s a complicated story.
