Portrerillos Smelter

When we visited, we weren't sure the line would be open. There had been talk of closing the smelter due to the massive pollution. The workers village had to be moved because of the pollution, and now (2017) the rail line is closed and abandoned due to a thousand year rain washing out the whole line. The smelter is reportedly using trucks.
