Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico, Historic railway line between Chihuahua City and Los Mochis, Mexico
The Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico extends for 653 kilometers through the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, crossing 87 tunnels and 37 bridges along its route.
Construction of this railway began in 1880 under President Manuel González, yet financial challenges and difficult terrain delayed its completion until 1961.
The railway connects multiple communities across the Copper Canyon region, enabling local residents to maintain their traditional ways of life while accessing modern services.
The journey takes approximately 16 hours, with first-class trains offering brief stops and second-class services making longer, more frequent station breaks.
The train reaches an elevation of 2,400 meters at Divisadero station, providing views of the extensive canyon network that spans the Sierra Madre Occidental range.
