Argentina's economic crisis in the early 2000s threw tens of thousands of people out of work. For many, working for themselves as a cartonero, someone who collects trash to sell to recycling centers, became the only option to put food on the table.

This report is part of Pulitzer Center-sponsored project "Argentina: The "Ghost Train" (http://bit.ly/sZ6BYC).

A video by Gabrielle Weiss.

Produced by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

Produced in association with The Virginia Quarterly Review (VQR) and J. Malcolm Garcia.

  • Argentina is one of the poorest country in south america or evan the world but i love my country with all my heart for too much reasons

  • wonderful video. how can the cost of fixing the train be more then finding all of the 'recycling people' new jobs? I hope they (government) fixed that train.

  • Wow, what a great video. So in the end is the train still going?
