Around the World by Train With Tony Robinson

S02E03 Mexico

Tony embarks on a journey aboard the El Chepe train, traveling from Mexico's western coast to the breathtaking Copper Canyon, a natural wonder even grander than the Grand Canyon. Continuing his adventure, he boards Mexico's sole passenger rail line heading towards the United States. In Chihuahua, he uncovers Sotol, a local spirit akin to Tequila. His travels then take him to Juarez, a city with a notorious past linked to drug trafficking. After crossing into El Paso, he encounters a fellow train aficionado dedicated to restoring vintage streetcars. His trip concludes at the iconic Union Station in Los Angeles.
