El Chepe's Bar Car Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the bar car on the famous Mexican train, El Chepe, which travels from Chihuahua to Los Mochis and back. This trip takes it through some of the most spectacular scenery in North America while traversing from 3,000 meters to sea level. It's an engineering marvel that took almost one hundred years to complete.
Just imagine yourself sitting in the comfort of this bar car, sipping your favorite beverage while the ever changing landscape slips by.

Excellent thinking. Combining a bar and travel. Beer in one hand, D70 in the other. Very different view of Mexico as seen here on TE. (Good note too).
