Description

Uyuni in Bolivia.
Just outside the city of Uyuni in Bolivia there is this cemetery of old steam locomotives. They were originally from the Antofagasta and Bolivian Railroad Company and mainly served the mining industry. When the mining industry collapsed they were retired to the desert where they stand preserved by the dry desert air.
I spent a couple of hours here wandering around this eerily atmospheric sight imagining the men who worked on these trains and the life they once had. Even though the trains stand still unmoving in the desert they are a most beautiful surreal sight and I'd loved to return to see them again.
