Can you take a train between North America and South America?

Question

If I took enough trains, could I travel from the United States to Brazil? Do any even cross the Panama Canal? Are there any countries in South America without decent railroads?

Answer 1

yes.

Answer 2

No you can't take a train from North to South America. I'm not sure of each country's railway system, but I know, at least in Honduras you can't even get across that country by train. If you can't get across Honduras you can't make it any further than that.

Answer 3

Sadly no. Neither can you drive. There are some marshes in Panama that there's no way to cross. Also, no passenger trains in Mexico (you could ride like a hobo on the freight ones but it's really really really risky). I've heard Argentina has a decent rail system.

Answer 4

Duh they are third world countries. I doubt some of them have anything but commericial trains... no

Answer 5

Sorry. No Panama Canal train.

Answer 6

that would be pretty cool

Answer 7

Answer 8

NO  look at a globe. you will need a plain to get to south America. It is across the ocean. Which will be the blue area on the globe. there are no trains on the ocean.  you will notice  the contents are not connected. buy  train tack. but is surrounded by lots of water. in fact it covers about 70 percent of the earth.  buy the way don't drink the water ocean water is bad for you.. You will need a pass port. and a plain ticket to get to Brazil.

Answer 9

ya i been on that trip before

Answer 10

i think so

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

I just laughed at all the answers! Geographically speaking, you can't just for the fact that there is a piece of land called the Darien Gap (in Panama) where go have to catch a ferry or boat to go across. Even the Pan american highway which supposedly goes from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, has huge gaps due to jungles and marshes.

And for everyone's information, South American countries such as Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia or Colombia have very decent railroads!! Yes, third world countries do have railroads and some of them are better than Amtrak, just take a look at the Orient Express Hirham Bingham train from Cuzco to Machu Picchu and Puno in Peru, 600 dollars the ticket with a 5 star service abroad!!!!

Answer 13

No sorry

Answer 14

No. One used to be able to reach Guatemala, but Mexico has since gutted its passenger rail system.

Through Central America, there are only short, unconnected rail routes. In Costa Rica, for instance, theree is only one short line from San Jose to a suburb, the sole remnant of the old coast-to-coast line.

Getting from Panama to Colombia by land is very difficult; even the road was never fully developed.

As far as I know, the northern South American nations are lacking rail systems of any significance, but I'm not 100 percent certain.
