[Uyuni Train Cemetery] — A ruined art space where time has stopped, with rusty steam locomotives lined up — The "Train Cemetery" on the outskirts of Uyuni is a place where trains used during the heyday of mining and railways from the late 19th century to the early 20th century were abandoned, and is now said to be the largest abandoned railway site in Bolivia. ⸻ 📍[Location] About 3km southwest of the city of Uyuni.
