The Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia (British company name: Antofagasta (Chili) & Bolivia Railway or FCAB for short) is a private railway operating in the northern provinces of Chile. It is notable in that it was one of the earliest railways built to 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge, with a route that climbed from sea level to over 4,500 m (14,764 ft), while handling goods} traffic totaling near 2 million tons per annum. It proved that a railway with such a narrow gauge could do the work of a standard gauge railway, and influenced the construction of other railways such as the Estrada de Ferro Oeste de Minas. It was later converted to 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge, and still operates today.

  • El Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia (FCAB) es un sistema ferroviario chileno, constituido en Londres en 1888 como Antofagasta (Chili) & Bolivia Railway Co. Ltd. en la época del auge salitrero chileno y de la expansión de la minería argentífera boliviana. A diferencia de otros ferrocarriles mineros contemporáneos, logró sobrevivir a la caída del mercado del salitre natural y hoy presta variados servicios de transportes, destacándose el transporte de productos e insumos mineros como cátodos de cobre y ácido sulfúrico en Chile y minerales refinados de plata, zinc y plomo de Bolivia.
