From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ticlio is a railway crossing loop in Peru whose main claim to fame is that it was until 2006 the highest station in the world on a standard gauge railway. Elevation 15,610 ft. above sea-level. It lies on the Pacific side of the Andes. On the approach line to Ticlio eight tunnels were necessary in a stretch of less than two miles.
