There was a show I watched on these railroads in the mountains to bring cargo and ore from the mountains to the sea. Also to bring people from far flung villages.It was in Patagonia. Argentina or Chile.
As the cargo got less important, the rails were pretty much abandoned.
Very few people live along the line, but some people were paid to do the runs anyway, doing their own maintenance. They had many low speed derailments it would take them months to fix with little help from the government.
I guess they have been trying to support their efforts with tourism.
I doubt anyone from the country rail companies or government supported this.
