I took that train some years ago, and I can say with confidence that it is the most underrated thing to do in Mexico. I've traveled throughout the country and it is by far the most beautiful journey you can make. It will take you from up in the mountains, through the desert and the canyons, all the way to the beach. Just breathtaking.

I'm proud to be Mexican. 🇲🇽

El Chepe is perhaps one of the most scenic train journeys I have witnessed. It is an engineering marvel of the Great Mexican people. I am astounded by the beauty of this landscape has. It is undoubtedly worth travelling experience which is not forgotten in a lifetime. Thanks and best Regards Sir for showing us this great adventure... 43:05

Bill Nighy's voice is unmistakable. Beautiful journey through remarkable landscape!

A few years ago, having heard a bit about the ride, I bought a ticket on a whim. Oh my goodness!!! What a ride!! One of the most memorable trips of my life. Worth every peso. I want to do it again.

Trainfan87 : I'm an Indian housewife. I never visited abroad and perhaps cannot be able to visit abroad in the rest of my life. But it seems that I, myself, am travelling and enjoying through this video captured by you. It's an amazing as well as dream-travelling. How spectacular, incredible and gorgeous travelling side by side of this scenic copper canyon railway from mountain to Pacific Ocean. Thank you for shooting this video. I also would like to thank, salute and pay my sincere gratitude to all engineers and workmen who crafted and fabricated this so long railway track. Thank you once again for uploading as well as sharing this enchanting video with us.

Very... Very Much impressive... Thanks for the ride...!! 🤩🙏👍

Hermoso El Cañon Del Cobre. Orgullo Mexicano 🇲🇽 😊🌍🚂🚂🚂❤

Want this trip on my 'Bucket List'.

The most beautifully brought out video of the splendid locations across Mexico and it was like actually travelling along experience. Thank you for taking us all with a wonderful explanation on the route.

We took the train from Chihuahua city to the coast and the ferry ride across the sea of Cortez :) amazing and beautiful:) ❤❤❤

This Canyon route is like a dream .

Blessed to have taken this train trip - spectacular!!

Gorgeous Majestic Beautiful. Mother Nature Showing Us. How Beautiful She Sure Is ❤🌍❤😊

😀 As I watch this video again I return back to the first time into the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains. It was 40 years ago I crossed the mountains from the east to the west following the rail line when possible or just 2 track roads. Our group of 8 vehicles and with only topo maps without any roads marked, on it we achieved the crossing in 12 days. It was on another trip a few years later I took the first train adventure across the mountains and canyons by rail. In my 100+ adventures into the Majestic Barrancas del Cobre(on 80 trips I added the El CHEPE). I have been working for over a year training my replacements they will graduate in the spring of 2024. This will be my last and at 75 years young it is just time! This is a experience some of us can not get enough of! There is also so much more to see then just the train. Plan on extra weeks to explore, you will not be sorry you experienced this amazing place.

our family took the train from El Fuerte to Creel and back again in 1997. From lowland jungle to the oak and pine-forested mountains and canyons at the top and back down again. An amazing ride. Just don't pay any attention to the demolished railcars, which littered the ground below many of the trestles. the present-day train cars appear MUCH more modern than the ones we rode. And the gondola is a new attraction. And the story about the corn beer are true!. I look forward to returning again.

Good morning to All 🌹💚😊 This is the one of the best mountain railway of the World 🌎🌍 23/08/2023. Kishore. RAMRAJATALA Station. HOWRAH. KOLKATA. INDIA. 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Wow que maravilla de lugar Yo e estado allí me da tanto orgullo por mexico que iso un proyecto tan maravilloso Viva la visión de mexico. Cada ves mexico Reconose lo que es una tierra muy bendecida Con Amor viva Mexico

I took this copper canyon chepe train ride yrs ago and let me tell you it was an exciting and interesting trip that was worth taking and I plan to take it again if you have never taken it I recommend it’s worth taking it 🚂 👍🏽

We took this trip on the train a number of years ago and it was our best holiday in Mexico

I have always wanted to ride el chepe ❤❤❤ thanks for this great video

I can hardly imagine how difficult and time consuming it was to build track across the many, many gorges. Banana trees, exotic birds in the mountains.. what a memorable train ride. Up and over.. all the way to the Pacific Ocean in Los Mochis!

Excellentee. I am a train fan from childhood. I love trains...

...thanks to show one of Mexico's best landscapes ❤.

I would rather be happier to see peace happiness and tranquility in the society

Awesome view ❤

What a beauty , I would love one day to make that trip

What a fantastic journey that would be.

Wow,✨💐 Wonderful, Amazing,… Muchas gracias por el conocer una maravillosa panorámica. Así que tengo un sueño por visitar allí y que me gusta hacer lo más antes posible. De verdad,🌻 cuando era joven fui a México. Me encantaba conocer sus culturas. Hasta entonces👍💫🙋‍♀️

Hermoso video, muy bonito recorrido.

I although I have not traveled on this train,l appreciate the magnificent beautiful work of God's creation.This is really awesome.This train is important and impressive for scenic views.Keep up the good work ✅💯👏!!!

My wife and I took the trip to Toplabanbo 20 years ago ,when it was CHP . Great ride. oh! the locomotives on this train were a GP40 and a GP38 EMD products

Ty for sharing this!! loved the views!!!

Man can make wonders.

I wish i will be fortunate enough to travel and enjoy.

Fascinating railroad tríp!!

I took this trip 40 years ago and one of our party met a vacationing RR employee and he invited us to the engine and the engineer let us pull the whistle/horn. A couple of our group even stepped out to be outside the engine in the front. I feel ok saying this after 40 years because no one's job would be imperiled. It was a blast. Creel was a cool overnight stay, we met some locals and they took us for a drive. We went in October, still quite hot at the coast, so we did not bring adequate warm clothes for when we were in the mountains. Brrr at night.

Belleza inigualable!! 😍 🛤️ 🚂

Tarahumara people and others natives community’s the real Americans

I took the train trip back in 1980.. Chihuahua a Los Mochis.. very scenic. Bus from El Paso to Chihuahua.. boarded train. A very different train nowadays (much more modern train). Personally, I loved the older train.. a person could have run behind the train and kept up.. vendors sold blankets and such from the Tarahumara Indians.

beaut scenery. great train journey. professional video

i will definitely love to go on this trip

hermoso video . saludos desde acapulco mexico

TODO ESTO ES NUESTRO MEXICO 🇲🇽 LINDO Y QUERIDO. DIOS MI CUANTA BELLEZA.

Simply mesmerizing.

Bella travesía que espero. antes de morir , lo haga realidad.

Yeas ago, I took a train from Nuevo Laredo to Mexico City. It was in the 100s when we started, and then we traveled some thousands of miles south. When we got out of the train, I was shocked that it was cold there. Mexico City is so high that it has a very cool climate. And out of the train station window, we could see their signature snowcapped volcano, rising much higher.

muy buen reportaje, felicidades saludos desde Chihuahua Capital

This is the Mexico I know. Not the negative news. Thank you!

Si están maravillados con el CHEPE, ya verán la sorpresa que se llevarán cuando viajen en el tren Maya... 1500 k de selva, ruinas, haciendas, playas, y pueblos mágicos de 5 Estados del sureste mexicano,... Una maravilla que nos regaló nuestro querido presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador ❤

Es un viaje que tienes que hacer al menos una vez en tu vida, y más si eres un fan del ferrocarril, simplemente hermoso 🥹♥️🇲🇽

VIVA MEXICO, cabrones! Miss you!

Only 1 video in last 3 years Waiting for more to come 😊

V beautiful thank you

In the begining it was called The Kansas City Mexico and Orient

The locomotives in the movie are EMD GP38-2's Dual axle Beasts! about 2,500HP each.

WOOOW WOOW OMG EL CHEPE MAGESTY EL CAYON DEL COBRE .

Bravo.........cooper canyon is 8 times big than the grandcanyon ......150 native trib are still live in the canyon ........cheers

Very beautiful. It is interesting that Hells Canyon between Oregon and Idaho is also claimed to be the deepest gorge in North America, at 7,900 feet.

Excellent. Thanks for the ride!

Still maintaining their traditional way of life but all have spanish names .. The spanish conquest of America is truly amazing . What manpower he must have taken to conquer all that land with so many societies, tribes and civilizations...fascinating

An amazing video👌👌

Took this in the 80's was supposed to be 11 hours actually took 17 They only had food enough for 2 meals. One of the sights was seeing people living in abandoned wooden box cars that looked like they dated back to the turn of 19th-20th century

El recorrido completo es desde Chihuahua, capital del Estado de Chihuahua hasta Topolobampo, puerto del Pacífico, en el Estado de Sinaloa, es decir faltó más de un tercio del viaje.

Great video thank you

I took "La Mula", the standard, not-tourist train. Stopped a lot. I remember the sign in Spanish in each car reminding us to "Be considerate of the other passengers and throw trash out the window". This was in 1990-

Thanks for the video.

when I rode it, I was a bit boggled by the guys with machine guns that rode outside the engine and between the cars - but I guess people who take it can be pretty rich compared to the surrounding countryside, so it's bit of a magnet for robberies maybe? it was super beautiful country.

My bucket list.

Nah changed my mind about watching anything Mexico

Very cool video

MY FATHER WAS A MACHINIST AT THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD IN THE 40'S & 50'S/KAREN *& I TOOK THE TRAIN TO HOUSTON WHEN WE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL in 1959/.I REALLY LIKE RIDING THE TRAIN!.'/9:36 AMen/10/20/2023/WELCOME WORLD!

Beautiful looking

Beautifull places 🗽☕🙋🐩🐩🐩🐩

Copper canyon is four times bigger than Colorado canyon stolen from Mexico in 1847.

North America's deepest gorge is not in Mexico, as claimed in this video. It's actually Hells Canyon, that forms the border between Idaho and Oregon in the United States. At 8000 feet deep, it's two thousand feet deeper than the one in this video. This one in Mexico is spectacular as well.

Sadly the tarahumara women they portrayed were wearing tennis shoes, which are not the typical tarahumara sandals, they sported nicely washed hair. Those are signs of staged items for this film. Only a few of the tarahumaras living closer to the touristic spots are here. Not the real deal. P.S. I am from the state of Chihuahua.

Reforestation programs were put in place and new growing trees will absorb way more carbon dioxide as they grow kind of how young human beings have a fast metabolism compare to adults in their 30s. There’s a great deal of care and consideration for the natural habitat of wildlife. It’s a historical project and books will be written and shared through the engineering society worldwide. Es un honor estar con Obrador!

That is a cool train

El tren no es conocido afectuosamente como el Chepe. Es conocido como el Chepe, porque se llama así, Chihuahua al Pacífico. Ch. (Se pronuncia Che) y P. (Se pronuncia Pe). Entonces el acrónimo de Chihuahua - Pacífico, es Chepe.

Super👍👍

👏👏👏👌👌👌🙏

Hello welcome inAmerica Mexico

Very good train blog

Q. Buen reportaje de este Sr. Tubo q. Ser un extranjero. Puesto q. En el pobre México no ay periodismo de esta clase , puros chayoteros . Entretenidos en lo q. Hase o no Hase. Lopez Obrador.

How the duck did they take the material back an forth trough the track

மழை செய்யும் கோளாறு -!- மழை ஷெய்யும் ஹோழாறு -!!- மளை ஸெய்யும் ஹோளாரு

My next trip

Lindo Passeio Amem E Deus e Nois Dois sim Fala seu Meu Deus Como Foi voce Ai com Os Rivais Sim Ganhamos Acausa do Prosseso do Meu Prosseso Sim Todos Sairam de vez Da Nossas Vidas dos Nossos Caminhos para Nois Dois Olhos do e volto com voce

The everyday Mexican people are friendly and down to earth. If you break down when traveling through Texas, you are MUCH more likely to have Spanish speaking folks stop to help you than any Anglo.. they’re just good people.

Incredible! What the best season to take the trip? Was the film made in the spring?

Wow pissing off the train, what a long piss fall

Just beautiful !!! I do have numerous questions/do the tourists remain, or do they ride the train back ? What about safety ?

Wasnt this train run suspended for some years?

Hola podría darme la condición de uso de tu video? Hi, could you tell me the condicion of use this video?
