An amazing assortment with a definite focus on transportation and a smaller focus on military vehicles... Some very nice gems here from the US Airplane Graveyard to the Soviet Cars and the Vending Machines of Japan.
The Bolivian Train Graveyard is in the High Andean Plain and deserves a closer look. Actually ALL the graveyards deserve a closer look and the folks at Oddee.com were nice enough to give links to the parent sites, use them, you will not be sorry.
