I was watching a TV Programme on Channel 5 this weekend about El Chepe Train which runs along part of the route from Chihuahua in the centre of the country to Los Mochis for its port on the Pacific Ocean.
There seem to be 2 services, a regular passenger train along the whole route and a higher class train starting further down the line from Chihuahua. It seems that originally the line went across the whole country linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and that took about 100 years to build, only completed in the 1960s. However I looked online and in the Overseas timetables and there do not seem to be any other passenger trains apart from this one in Mexico, is that correct, are there freight lines and does the link from Chihuahua to the Atlantic still exist.? It looked a to be a great journey and the scenery was not what I imaged Mexico to look like. The trains looked smart too.
