PASSENGER TRAIN INFORMATION

MEXLIST does not arrange passenger travel. However, because we receive frequent inquiries, we try to provide information. This page contains the most complete information available to us at any given time. The most recent update was on March, 26, 2025. Since operations are subject to change, MEXLIST cannot guarantee the current accuracy of such information. Please submit any updates and corrections. Please note that there are no scheduled international passenger trains connecting Mexico with any other nation. The only scheduled international ground transportation to and from Mexico is by motorcoach (bus).

Almost all traditional intercity passenger trains in Mexico were discontinued in 2000, when the Mexican federal government stopped subsidizing them. Passenger services are currently being revived in some parts of the country. Services currently in operation are described below.

The following are long-distance passenger train operations:

• Chepe
  Ferromex operates intercity trains of modern equipment various times per week, depending on the season, on its "Chepe" line (the famed "Copper Canyon"route). There are luxurious Chepe Express trains between Creel, Chihuahua, and Los Mochis, Sinaloa; and there are standard Chepe Regional trains between Chihuahua, Chihuahua, and Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Current information is available on the Chepe website, for the Chepe Express trains in Spanish and English; and for the Chepe Regional trains in Spanish.

The full network, in the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo, was in operation by December 15, 2024. Current information is available on the Tren Maya website.
