The Tocopilla railway was a mountain railway built to serve the sodium nitrate mines in the Toco area of the Antofagasta Region in Chile. With a gauge of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm), it ran from the port of Tocopilla on the Pacific coast up to a height of 4,902 feet (1,494 metres), with gradients up to 1 in 24. The railway was built by a joint-stock company founded in London and was designed by William Stirling of Lima, with a detailed description of the initial operation of the railway published by his brother Robert in 1900. The line was electrified in the mid-1920s and expanded in 1930 with the addition of lines serving new areas of mining. It continued operating into the 21st century, but was forced to close in 2015 when flash flooding caused numerous washouts on the electrified section of the railroad. With the declining prospects for nitrate, it was not economical for the line to be repaired. This photograph taken in 2013 shows a boxcab on the Tocopilla railway, leading a train down towards the coast.Photograph credit: David Gubler

Long belated thank you
I was thinking how nice it was when the occasional new editor tells me thanks for a welcome template I placed on their talk page; then I realized that I had never thanked you for the one you left me! So allow me now to extend my belated thanks for welcoming me to the project. Thank you! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 21:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
A little help
A fellow editor asked me if he can remove/delete an account which he accidentally created. See here). Is this possible? Does it take an admin to do so? What is the procedure? Thanks! -- Levine2112 22:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Notice board for vaccine-related topics
Hi again, I don't really have any choice but to revert this edit again, for a few reasons:
- You refuse to engage me on the talk page. I've asked you several specific questions, and you've repeatedly responded by deleting my comments.
- You've repeatedly accused other editors of "personal attacks" but you've refused to explain to me which comments you think violated WP:NPA. You can't just throw around terms like "personal attack" and then refuse to say which comments you're talking about, and why you think they violate WP:NPA.
- You falsely claimed in your edit summary that you were moving the discussion to the talk page. In fact, you just deleted it.
- Yet again, you've marked your edit as minor, when you know it's not a minor edit. Since this has been clearly explained to you several times, I can only conclude that you're deliberately abusing the "minor edit" checkbox to avoid scrutiny from other editors.
As I've said before, you have no right to delete my comments from a project page. If you honestly think I've violated WP:NPA, please report me at the administrators' noticeboard. At the very least, take the time to answer my questions instead of unilaterally deleting them. Sideshow Bob Roberts (talk) 12:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
