---My Introduction---
- Hi, I'm Daniel5127. Occasionally, I consider myself as Mathematician because I like to study the Mathematics such as Calculus. I first discovered the Wikipedia in June 2005. As a Wikipedian, I'm a 20 year old boy (teenager) as College student, and live in Los Angeles, California, America. I will help you with anything if you don't know how to use Wikipedia, you don't understand the way of using in Wikipedia, or have any problems with editing. I've been a Wikipedian since March 3, 2006. So, I'm glad to see you. Ahh, my hobby is to study Science, because I want to be scientist in the future. I'm quite proud of being chinese Wikipedian. I'm also interested in Astrology, something that tells about fortune of the day. The astrology book is called The New Astrology. This book is dedicated to everyone.
The Tocopilla railway was a mountain railway built to serve the sodium nitrate mines in the Toco area of the Antofagasta Region in Chile. With a gauge of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm), it ran from the port of Tocopilla on the Pacific coast up to a height of 4,902 feet (1,494 metres), with gradients up to 1 in 24. The railway was built by a joint-stock company founded in London and was designed by William Stirling of Lima, with a detailed description of the initial operation of the railway published by his brother Robert in 1900.The line was electrified in the mid-1920s and expanded in 1930 with the addition of lines serving new areas of mining. It continued operating into the 21st century, but was forced to close in 2015 when flash flooding caused numerous washouts on the electrified section of the railroad. With the declining prospects for nitrate, it was not economical for the line to be repaired. This photograph taken in 2013 shows a boxcab on the Tocopilla railway, leading a train down towards the coast.Photograph credit: David Gubler
Awarded to Daniel for never letting others make you angry or sad (even the grumpy vandals!), for alwaysassuming good faith in every situation (whether you know that or not!), for always asking questions when you don't understand and learning from others answers... and, for just being a kind-hearted great-natured wikipedian!
