The Rio Mulatos-Potosí line is a railway line in Bolivia, containing Cóndor station, the world's ninth highest railway station (4,786 m or 15,702 ft). It was the world's second (after Ticlio, in Peru) until the completion of the Tanggula railway station on the Qinghai–Tibet Railway (5,072 m or 16,640 ft) in the Tanggula Mountains, Tibet.[citation needed]
