A Train Ride To Heaven

Even that description fails to do justice to the spectacular scenery and engineering feats of the Chihuahua-a I-Pacifico Railroad. Running for 214 miles between EI Fuerte and Divisadero, the route climbs from sea level to over 8,000 feet, crosses 39 bridges up to 1,638 feet in length, travels through 68 tunnels up to 3,074 feet long. The railroad's construction ran into all kinds of problems, from competition by the opening of the Panama Canal to the Mexican Revolution. But the greatest obstacle was the untamable Sierra itself. The terrain dictated some wild twists and turns, including a complete360- degree loop and a 180-degree turn inside a tunnel. Originally built to give Texas produce access to a Pacific port, the railroad is now recognized for its scenic wonders as it slowly passes through green-tinged canyons, thick coniferous forests, and along the rim of one of the world's most spectacular canyons.
