Description
Mexican Passenger Trains in Color from Morning Sun Books is an all-color look at Mexico's vast passenger train network that once stretched from the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California in the West to the Gulf of Mexico in the East, and from the U.S. Border in the North to the Yucatan Peninsula in the South. Major express trains such as the "Aztec Eagle" and connecting lines such as the Coahuila y Zacatecas narrow gauge railroad are included. Also featured are examples of motive power including steam, diesel and electric, plus three streetcar lines. The trains were equipped with a fascinating variety of mostly hand-me-down passenger equipment that changed quite a bit over the nearly 60-year period (1961-2017) covered by these photos. This book is a must-have for modelers and fans of Mexican railroads! Mexican Passenger Trains in Color is one of many titles from Morning Sun books about passenger trains and service. Hardcover, 128 pages.
