Are there trains for traveling that run from tennessee to mexico city?

Question

Why do I not here much about train travel? How fast do trains travel?Are they safe?How expensive is it to travel by train?

Answer 1

Currently there is no national passenger railroad system in Mexico.

KCS (Kansas City Southern)  has taken over the northern Mexican track rights and currently only runs freight on those lines.

There are regional rail systems around mexico.

I am including a railfan site that may help you with the regional lines:

As far as the second part of your question your best bet would be to go into Arkansas and pick up the Texas Eagle  which would take you to the border town of Del Rio TX.  Here is Amtracks link

Answer 4

There is no passenger train service in Mexico.  I live in Mexico.  There are excellent buses...very comfortable and reliable that can take you from the border to Mexico City.
