OriginalSQM locomotive hauling cargo, with Tocopilla, Chile, in the background to the right.
Reason
Quality lead image of a defunct Chilean rail service. The railway was damaged beyond repair by severe rainfall in 2015 (not surprising given the terrain!). The railway was used for transporting Chilean caliche ore and nitrate to processing plants and ports. The city of Tocopilla is in the background to the right. FP on Commons.
