The first of many views of our 23 rigs on the train. Remember, we were the seventh rig to be loaded, so you are looking at the 16 rigs behind us.
A Tarahumara family standing in front of their house. All along the way, families came out to wave as the train passed through their communities.
One thing we noticed were the clothes on the fences and lines. We got the feeling these were very clean people.
A view of the typical homes in the smaller villages we passed while on the train.
There was only one rail line, so we often had to side rail in order to let another train pass. Here we are side railed to let a passenger train go by.
This is the first of 84 tunnels we would go through during our four travel days on the train. Some tunnels were short, four of them at least one-half mile long, but one was a mile long.
All along the trip, Tarahumara women in traditional dress came to the tracks to sell their baskets and other items.
The second night on the train was spent at Creel, the village we had visited earlier. However, this time our RV's were on the train. This is a picture of the main street in Creel.
Isn't she just beautiful? A young Tarahumara Indian girl selling her family's wares.
