International Railroad Discussion > La Paz Bolivia 1966Date: 05/21/15 21:26 La Paz Bolivia 1966 Author: photobob I spent about four months in Bolivia while in the Army as a photographer. La Paz was an amazing place with steam everywhere. You could wander at will around the station and enginehouse. Its all gone now and the station is now a bus terminal. Thank you Uncle Sam for giving me that great opportunity and it really wasnt my choice as the letter simply said, Greetings you will donate two years of your life protecting your country.
