Just another train line

Sistema Ferrocarril Pte. Carlos Antonio Lopez (On tentative list)

Sistema Ferrocarril Pte. Carlos Antonio Lopez: Reincarnacion train station

The proposed components in Encarnacion are rather easy to pick up, if you visit Paraguay the lazy way (day trip from Posadas to visit the one WHS and done). The rail bridge is connected to the road bridge and the only way between Posadas and Encarnacion, so it´s impossible to miss. Saying it is not spectacular at all would still be an understatement.

The second component is the old train station of Encarnacion. I honestly only saw it by chance. Our driver wanted to show us (for a few extra bucks of course) the beach, on our way back from visiting the WHS. He stopped right in front of the station. The station, again, is nothing special. But at least, there is an old train parked in front of it.

I don´t understand why a train line Built by British engineers in the new world should be a WHS and I could not see any OUV, at least not in Encarnacion. There are already a few train lines on the list and I feel any new addition to this segment would need to be really outstanding to be justified.
