Train cemetary in Uyuni, Bolivia
The train cemetary located in the saltflats just outside Uyuni, Bolivia. Most of the trains here date back to the early 20th century and were imported from Britain. Uyuni was originally destined to become a major train destination connecting a variety of cities. Those plans ultimately never came to fruition as both the mining industry lost momentum and also disputes with neighboring countries broke out. The trains are exceptionally worn down because of the mixture of salt and strong winds which give the massive steel structures their weathered look. There are over 100 trains cars there for you to explore and each one has its own unique structure. There’s also lots of graffiti covering these transportation antiquities.
