Passenger rail is a priority for the Mexican government and an attractive option for medium and long routes. Some of the most important lines include:

• Chepe Express (Chihuahua to Sinaloa, crossing the Copper Canyon).
• Maya Train, with 35 stations across the Yucatan Peninsula.
• Interoceanic Train (Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz to Salina Cruz, Oaxaca and to Palenque, Chiapas). Two routes are operating and a third is under construction.
• Suburban Train (Mexico City, Buenavista to Cuautitlan).
• Insurgente Train (Mexico City, Observatorio to Toluca).
• Tequila Express (departing from Guadalajara through the Tequila region of Jalisco).

It remains important to learn as much as possible about transportation options in every city you plan to visit.
