Hi,
We did the combo train/RV trip in Jan '07 and were one of the very last caravans to do it, a "Trip of a lifetime" and to us, very well worth it.
During the day, you stayed in your RV or sat in a chair on the flatdeck railcar, and the train only went about 10-15mph, and periodically stopped for faster trains, and stopped overnight near a town, and we had guards during the whole 5-6 days of the trip who stayed in a caboose at the back of the train.
I don't have access to out trip right now, but we didn't board at Chihuahua or get off at Topolobampo that I recall.
After the trips stopped, we were told it was because of insurance purposes, but it seems no one remembers any serious incidents or claims.
So, who knows the real truth?
