So last Sunday we went to discover Parque Quinta Normal, one of the city's oldest parks. People say, it was similar to New York's Hyde Park, but when we went, half of the area was under construction, and the other half looked like a crowded spotty lawn rather than Hyde Park. Still there were some nice surprises: Santiago's railway museum is located inside the park. The museum has lots of antique German machinery on display, that I'd associate with the industrial age 150 years ago. Only here in Chile these ancient locomotives were used right up to 1981! Nowadays most cargo transport is done by road, they just have the bigger lobby.
