	The Altiplano Express Line is currently the furthest extension of the railway system originating in [[Ankh-Morpork]]. This line begins at [[Sto Lat Junction]] and leaves at eight in the morning from Platform One. it originates in the driving need expressed in {{RS}} for a very fast, one-use-only, express line from Ankh-Morpork into [[Uberwald]]. Whilst the lines and tracks still exist leaving Zemphis and on the other side of the river, further use of the line after [[Ohulan Cutash]] is suspended until the not-insubstantial rebuilding of a viaduct capable of carrying trains is completed. This could well take some time and this line therefore terminates, for the moment, at [[Zemphis]]. Local trains are available on a spur line to Ohulan.

	"Altiplano Express" is a Spanish-language novel by [[http://www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/andean-express/\|Juan de Recacochea]] published in South America in 2000. Translated into English as ''Andean Express'', it is a murder mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie's "Orient Express" (but with a rather less reactionary set of socio-political assumptions) concerning strange deaths on a sleeper train crossing the Bolivian Andes. A reviewer notes that it ''presents a moving environment at once carnivalesque and sinister. The novel explores the social tensions characteristic of Bolivian society in a way that is both accessible and highly entertaining.''
