Ferrocarril Santa Ana is a 3 ft (914mm) narrow gauge railway from Cusco to Aguas Calientes close to the Machu Picchu historic site. It used to run to Quillabamba, but after a 1998 landslide, the section beyond the hydro-electric plant (Hidroeléctrica) close to Machu Picchu is abandoned.
A spur line leaving the main line at Pachar runs to Urubamba. The section beyond Urubamba running to Huayllabamba is abandoned.
