does mexico have railroad service for travlers?

Question

would like to travel in mexico by railroad

Answer 1

NO
With a few exceptions.

Regular passenger was discountinued by the government in January of 2006. The main exception is the popular is the Chihuahua - El Pacifico which connects the Chihuahua (east of the Sierra Madre Occidental) to Los Mochis (near the west coast). It was kept because it is the only practical way to travel between those locations and because it travels through Copper Canyon, making it one of the most spectacular train rides in the world, attracting tourist.

Outside of that the only train service are a few short runs, like the Tequila Expess, mainly run on weekends as tourist excursions.

When it was functioning, the Mexican passenger train system is not well run. Along most routes, when on schedule, which wasn't often, trains took twice as long as buses.

Mexico does have one of the world's best bus systems. For more information, use the link below.

Answer 2

Yes, there's a very famous train route that goes though the Copper Canyon in northern Mexico (spectacular and bigger than the Grand Canyon) and winds up at the Pacific. The Copper Canyon train trip is very popular with travelers.

I have absolutely no clue about any other train travel in Mexico and I would not do it without consulting several reputable travel guides to get some idea of whether or not it's safe. But I've traveled by deluxe-class bus for long distances several times. I was never robbed or anything despite what that other person says. Of course you should always use common sense and keep your wits about you, wherever you travel.

Answer 3

The answer is absolutely NO ... only a few tourist trains here and there for short trips. They still do use trains for freight

Everyone uses the buses which are much better than the US

Answer 4

Yes. I lived in Mexico. Your nuts. Same with buses. How many times do you want to get robbed?
