Train Station With No Freight

Urbina, Ecuador is at the foot of the Chimborazo Volcano. Once. ice miners mined ice on the volcano and shipped the ice through this railroad station to Cuenca and other places in Ecuador. The last ice miner died this year, but the station has not been used for years. It now sits idle in the middle of nowhere.
