Just recently on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - Only available in Canada I think) there was a two hour special about the people who ride the rails from centeral america, through mexico into the states, and in some cases they ride the rails all the way to Canada. One fellow went from Honduras all the way to Nelson British Columbia! People trying to enter the US from Mexico by freight train is an ENORMOUS problem, the trains are litterally packed with people trying to get into the states. The trains that runs from Mexico City into the Southern states are called the "Trains of Death" because so many people have died trying to get on. An old passenger station in one of the mexican cities was turned into a small hospital dealing with all the people that end up losing legs and arms to the train as it leaves the freight yard. Really a very sad story. Not only are the trains themselves dangerous, but there are also gangs that consider the trains their teritory, stealing from the immigrants and injuring if not killing others. Here's the link to the story on the CBCs website, it was a really good special... http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/runforyourlife/index.html
