Mexico was an unknown railroad land south of the border to me. I first saw it in a Rail Classics magazine about the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum trip to Puerto Penasco. Seeing articles in Trains Magazines furthered my wanting to visit Mexico. I started first on a PSRM Puerto Penasco trip and fell in love with Mexican railroading wanting more. The Bananafish Tours trips to Copper Canyon came next then the other places fell into place. I will now take you back into time to enjoy railroading in Mexico as it once was.
