Ghost train.

There are many great buildings in 9 de Julio that would be fantastic if converted into hotels.  The railway station, which aligns with the town centre some 1500 metres away, is one of these buildings.  It stands two storeys high and spreads its enormous wings with nine double doors each with their own purpose.  One for the Jefe (boss) and another was used as a waiting room for senoras. 

Trucks and buses have replaced the need for regular trains to pass through 9 de Julio and as far as we can deduce there is a train about once a week.  It must be for cargo as there is a handwritten sign on a black board that says passenger trains have been cancelled.  The infrastructure is still in place to load carriages full of maize but these tracks are covered in so much dirt and grass that it must have been some time since a train used the side tracks.

Talluah has seen a dramatic improvement in her wrist after her fall on Friday.  While she still can’t grasp things, fortunately she is in a lot less pain.
