24 Eerie Abandoned Places with Dark Pasts and Even Darker Secrets

23. The Abandoned Train Cemetery of Uyuni, Bolivia

In the middle of Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni salt flats, an eerie train graveyard stretches across the landscape. These rusting locomotives date back to the late 1800s, when Bolivia planned to become a railway hub for South America. However, when the economy collapsed, the trains were left to rot in the desert. Now, dozens of skeletal locomotives are scattered across the barren landscape, covered in graffiti and slowly being consumed by salt and rust. The sight of these corroded trains sitting in the vast, white emptiness makes for a hauntingly surreal experience.
