I've read a bit on line, Wikipedia etc., but still find it incredulous that Mexico just "swept away" their rail passenger service years back. I feel fortunate to have ridden the Aztec Eagle (???) from Nuevo Laredo to Mexico City in the mid-eighties.
I know the railroads privatized, but was part of the privatization the right to canx ALL pax services? Is there any movement at the national or state levels in the Mexican government to establish any kind of service, other than commuter?
Inquiring minds just want to know.............
It seems that Mexico didn't learn anything from the Amtrak debacle, in fact it looks like they said, "we can do the USA 'one better' and get rid of ALL pax trains......."
