An old Scottish steam train in possibly the oddest location that you would expect, the edge of the salt pans in Bolivia.
This photo was taken in a train graveyard where many engines and carriages have been taken when they are no longer needed. In the dry atmosphere they will last for centuries, it is certainly sad seeing these great machines sat doing nothing after a life that has taken them from Europe to South America.
The Atacama Desert is a virtually rainless plateau in South America and has been inexistance for C. 20 million years. It covers a 600 mile strip of land on the Pacific coast of South America, west of the Andes mountains. According to NASA, National Geographic and many other publications, this is the driest desert in the world.
The rain shadow on the leeward side of the Chilean Coast Range and the Andes, as well as a coastal inversion layer created by the cold offshore Humboldt Current keeps the desert 50 times drier than California's Death Valley.
