Train Graveyard, Uyuni

Just outside of Uyuni, in south-west Bolivia, is a train graveyard - the railway was built by the British in the late 19th Century for the mining industry. It was sabotaged by the locals who believed it was intrusive. In the 1940s the mining industry collapsed and the trains were abandoned, leaving this "Train Graveyard"
