You could make a garden railroad model of this copper mine railroad without using any plants!

Amazing scenery!
What are plants?
That is a neat RR. Talk about a bleak landscape but very cool to plunk a RR down in it. I wonder how often they have problems with landslides on the parts that cling to the mountains?
That was great. At the end there are links to many other railroads in Chile,Peru,Equador,etc. I watched several. Highly recommended!
In the 90’s i used the train from cusco to machu pichu ,what a beautiful experience!
