Such atmospheric writing and photographs. There is something about industrial archeology and the tales that it tells of times past. Suspect you may have driven the road from Mendoza up to the Chilean border which passes lots of remains of the railway that used to run there and was replaced by the road. Spectacular abandoned bridges, sidings, sheds and snow tunnels in the midst of stunning scenery. Built when the British were so active in that part of the world.
More to see in the countries of E Europe when during the days of the Russian/Soviet empire, industrial units were built in all sorts of places, I guess to provide local employment. Many now abandoned and providing homes for packs of feral dogs. And great material for keen photographers.
