After production began the connecting train was used to transport supplies and copper. The line is 155kms long and is now used to supply sulfuric acid to other mining sites. Sulfuric acid is used for the purpose of purifying copper.The line allows trains to travel a breathtaking route including tunnels and mountain side terrain. The amazing scenery and terrain make this a very spectacular route.
