Copper Canyon Train Tour Part 1

From Topolobampo we took the Copper Canyon Train Tour up into the Mountains. This is a photographer's dream-trip. 18 hours, round trip, from the ship. But it was worth it.

The Copper Canyon Train adventure, arranged by HAL, was wonderful. The train cars were very comfortable and the crew took care of us. There was even a bar car, which ... .... of course, Scotty discovered very quickly. There was also a singer who entertained us for part of the trip. And with whom Scotty enjoyed drinks! Our journey began in the flat lands and, slowly we made out way up ... ... over bridges and ... ... and more bridges ... ... around narrow bends ... ... through many many tunnels. We had to pull in FAST to keep our heads! The proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel." The "switchback" took us up many hundred feet ... ... back and forth ... ... back and forth ... ... back and forth ... ... back and forth ... ... back and forth again ... ... and on up the side of a mountain. Looking down from above at the train tracks and bridge we had crossed minutes .. ... before.
