In a country beset by rebel violence, the coal is moved under super-tight security by rail from Cerrejon, the world's biggest open-pit export coal mine, to Puerto Bolivar, the largest coal terminal in the Americas, where freighters will carry it to Europe and America.
Cerrejon, which accounts for up to 60 percent of all coal exports from Colombia, is owned by foreign mining giants BHP Billiton, Anglo American and Glencore International.
From Cerrejon's mine, where 24.9 million tons of coal were extracted last year, the railway heads north into the arid Guajira peninsula, which juts into the Caribbean at South America's northern tip.

 Update on coal mining at El Cerrejon, Colombia
Communities around the massive Cerrejon Norte coal strip mine in the northern province of La Guajira, Colombia, are still waiting for justice from the Colombian government and the multinational mining companies who own the mine.
Carbones del Cerrejon has increased its offer of individual financial compensation to community members still holding out for a community relocation agreement – though not to a level adequate to compensate them for the destruction of their agricultural livelihood and the disruption to community life.
In the case of El Cerrejon, these servidumbres had involved the destruction of people’s houses and evictions from people’s own private property, while compensation had been offered only at a level appropriate for access; in other words, servidumbres had been used as a cheap method of clearing land of its inhabitants.
