Story here.MEXICO CITY - High-speed bullet trains whooshing across the Mexican countryside. Electric commuter trains slicing through Mexico City. Gleaming new train stations and state-of-the-art switching systems.
It's all part of an ambitious, multibillion-dollar plan to revive train travel in Mexico, a business that was mostly abandoned in 2001 after decades of mismanagement and long, uncomfortable journeys in aging rail cars.

How can that be possible? I mean, even looking at the article, I thought the government practically gave up on Passsenger Trains after the privatization of Nacionales de Mexico, and the elimination of almost all passenger trains after that happened. I hope it does, if Mexico can build a High Speed Rail line, maybe even a couple, It might get our politicians to stop arguing, and start funding the groundwork for a High Speed Rail Network in ths country(with corridors connected by LD Trains of course).
