Plan to do the Copper Canyon railroad trip from Western side in two or three weeks Should like advice on this - and should have paid more attention to folks that have done it. Church and Church is six years old now. Tried looking it up on this forum and got four pages on Cooper a canyon RVsReed and ElaineCurrently at Cocoanuts in Cuytulan

Are you sure it is still in use? I thought that I had read years ago that it was stopped. I haven't seen anyone write about the Mexican railroad trip in years.

Last I read was that you caught it at El Fuerte, and there is a park there.There is no longer an RV park in Los Mochis.

I'm pretty sure it's no longer running.

The railroad still runs. But it has been years since you could put your RV on a flatcar. I think some private firm is running the tours so it is more expensive. We did it when it was run by the CPR: Chihuahua Pacific Railroad. The cars were from Spain or Italy and looked like something from a Clint Eastwood movie. I don't remember the fare but it was around $15.00!!!!! One heck of a ride. We did it twice. Did you Google Copper Canyon rail ride??Moisheh

Here are the prices. Senior discount is 50% and is marked on the tables on the website El ChepeWe left our rig in San Rafael (the canyon, end of the highway) and took the train to El Fuerte and spent the night at Hotel Herradura.Blog Post - Copper Canyon
