Desolate

The rugged desolation of the northern Atacama Desert is on full display at Kilometer-64 of the Southern Peru Copper; it's stark emptiness briefly interrupted by copper ore empties on their return journey to Cuajone Mine. The track geometry of the SPCC main line is an impressive feat of engineering, rising in elevation almost 13,000 ft in just 140 miles.
