LCGB Mexico Tour November 2019

The club operated a tour to Mexico in 2019 to visit the Copper Canyon railway which operates between Chihuahua and Los Mochis. It is the only long distance passenger service left in the country and it shares the line with heavy freight trains that operate on the route.
