ESTACIÓN DE FERROCARRIL
The town's historic former railway station, built between 1852 and 1854, features a facade adorned with a clock built in 1852.
Built between 1852 and 1854, this old station is one of the city's historic gems. Its base is made of granite rock and its columns of Oregon pine. The façade is decorated with a clock built in 1852 in Liverpool.
The city has the first working locomotive in South America, the Copiapó (it can be visited at the University of Atacama), inaugurated on July 4, 1851 in honor of its American manufacturer. Later on, the mining boom meant that new locomotives were built which, at top speed, could reach... 26 km/h.
