Can you guess what this is and where you can see it in Baja?
Be as exact as possible. This has been posted on Nomad more than once. The photo has been "enhanced" so it looks not exactly as before.
The photo was taken after 2010.
I will add hints as needed.

Las Flores on the road from BOLA to Las Animas Bay, and south. That's the old railroad bed for the mine west of there. (as said above)David K - 7-30-2016 at 07:07 AM

That's a much more exact answer! Thank you!!
*A railroad bed
*As seen from the road south of L.A. Bay. East side of the road in this picture.
This photo is 2.4 miles south of Las Flores (the jailhouse) townsite and 3 miles north of the end of the line at the base of Terminal Canyon where a
cable tram line brought buckets of gold and silver ore down 3,000 feet or so from the other railroad at the top going to the San Juan mine.
The railroad engine is on display in the Bahía de los Angeles town plaza. A cart from the other, mountain-top railroad is also displayed. It was a on
different gauge track, and that's why the two don't really fit together!
