Mountains, Desert, Trains & History

See the Chihuahua Railway, Southern Pacific of Mexico and Sonora-Baja California Railway! We'll explore the CH-P from 10,000 foot Drake Tunnel to the Pacific port of Topolobampo. The Lasso, The Slab, The Pear (El Lazo, La Laja; La Pera - a loop, high bridge and tunnel) are a few landmarks on this remarkable journey. Oh, and how about Barranca del Cobre, the Copper Canyon?

Journey over FCP's line from Sufragio south to Guadalajara, along with several branches, plus NdeM routes to Los Reyes and Manzanillo. See venerable ALCo RS-11 #501 (originally 1501) celebrating her 39th year - in a fresh coat of green paint and yellow trim. We'll partake in the annual "Day of the Railroader" festivities at Tepic and see historic equipment, both still serving and on display. Thrill to the viaducts and blast through 35 tunnels o
