[edit] Gauge?
The railway from the port of Matarani is standard gauge, and probably its branches as well.
According to Transport in Peru the Ferrocarril Central Andino is narrow 914mm gauge (about to be converted to 1435mm) while the rest of the mileage including the Matarani line would have to be 1435mm to make the figures add up.
The line to Machu Picchu is narrow gauge. [[1]] The picture shows mixed gauge at the Cusco station used by standard gauge trains to Puno.
