The average age of Italian trains is 20 years, we’ve the oldest trains comparing with European ones, this is the reason of the photo I choose..

I think if you wanted to portray a photo of Italy, you would choose something a little closer to home, rather than the train cemetery at Uyuni, Bolivia in the Atacama desert. To me this is typical left-wing misrepresentation; trying to “paint a picture” but unfortunately willing to be less than truthful to do so. Would it be so difficult to use an actual photo of the derailment; or at least, make it more clear that the ancient steam locomotive sitting in the Atacama desert has NOTHING to do with the story?
