Where do old steam trains go to rest? In the case of Bolivia, to the ‘Cementerio de trenes’, or Train Cemetery, on the outskirts of Uyuni. Also known as the ‘Great Train Graveyard’, the site is home to dozens of abandoned steam trains, left to decay after the collapse of the Bolivian mining industry decades ago. However, nowadays the trains serve as an eerily beautiful background for tourist snapshots.
