Some time ago I wrote about the lack of rail in Mexico, it is a sadness that the FFCC interest of passengers in Mexico has been lost, still remains as a relic, and in memory of those ancestors, the Chihuahua-Pacific Railway, CH-P or Chepe, leaves at 6 Monterrey morning and makes a journey, crossing the republic to Los Mochis, at 20:50, with a total cost of $ 1,552.00
(http://www.chihuahua.gob.mx/turismoweb/Contenido/plantilla5.asp? cve_canal = 423 & Portal = turismoweb), and the return stroke costs the same and also leaves at 6:00 in Los Mochis.
spectacular journey through the Sierra Tarahumara and imposing Copper Canyon (Copper Canyon) natural attraction in Mexico, internationally known to be 4 times bigger than the famous Colorado Canyon, where you can practice mountain biking, camping, hiking or fishing and visiting the different villages of the Sierra Tarahumara . | |

In his note said it was the only passenger train in the country, but on the same page announcing the Tequila Express:

Ferrocarril Mexicano has set for this route of 4 coaches with bathrooms, air conditioning and reclining seats with capacity for 64 passengers each. |
At the moment these are the only passenger trains in the country, and move equipment, nineteenth century, which is already a little old men.
For the rest of rail for freight transportation is another story, if there is a network of Railways which runs several routes in the country, but systems as outdated, which only serve for several seasons, and Celaya, Enpalme Escobedo, Salamanca etc, is sacked by predators and the administration can not do anything, it's amazing, because the train will stop the looters, they open the floodgates for carrying out the seeds, corn, wheat, etc, and restart, leaving behind tons of product, and predators will concentrate on collecting, even in vans and then carry it to sell it, the police can not do anything because the product being abandoned, no one can claim or demand.
And you know what? does not escape the graffiti.
