Wondering if that big pile to the left of the train is mine tailings.
I hopped into my "plane" via Google Earth and keyed "Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia" into the GPS autopilot. It took me to the rail yard in Viacha where 4 lines come into the yard. 3 are relatively short lines to the South West, West and North East. The line to the South East is long, passes through some rough country. Flying along that rail line on VFR at about 15,000ft (4572 meters) I was not able to find that particular spot, got low on fuel had to head back.
3 photos from the flight.
