I changed my plans from one coast to the other, mostly so I can take the Copper Canyon train. As my friend Barry says when he travels:

I´m here. It´s there. Why not?

Purusing the guidebook on the way to Chihuahua, I found the train leaves from the city at 6am. But a little town up the way, Cuahtemoc, has a station too, with a departure time of 9:30am. It´s smaller, easier to negotiate and Lonely Planet says there´s a Hotel San Francisco that´s cheap, clean and has great Mexican breakfasts done simply.

Sold.

Bought my ticket, got on the bus, then looked for it on the map.
