Come along on a journey with Pentrex and explore the fascinating operations of the Mexican railway system. We set out to discover what type of equipment is used and how our southern neighbors operate their railroad. What we found was startling, and we bring it all to you in this exciting look at the railroads of northern Mexico.

Crossing the border is almost like stepping back in time where every freight train runs with a caboose. It's a place where the art of telegraphy is still practiced as an essential means of communication, and where railway express is a thriving business. If it's not old then it must be odd, as you'll see "Katy" GP-40s pulling passenger trains, in direct contrast with new General Electric "Super Sevens" working on high priority trains.
Join us as we climb aboard the engine of a local passenger train and grind up seventeen miles of 3% grade. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and the ride . . . it's simply exhilarating!

Explore Mexico with Pentrex as we take you to some of the most remote and beautiful places in the country. You'll be fascinated by what you see, as well as amazed that railroading like this is still in existence!
