Rail transport in Bolivia

The Bolivian rail network is made at present of two separate systems, one in the eastern lowlands centered on Santa Cruz and one centered along a north-south axis along Altiplano plateau and with multiple branch lines.

The network has had a varied development throughout its history but contrary to the road system that largelly unified in 1954 with the opening of the Cochabamba–Santa Cruz road the eastern and western rail systems in Bolivia have never joined.
