I once asked if it would be viable to build a rail line linking Canada and the lower 48 with Alaska. But how far could you theoretically go in the other direction? Mexico has a pretty complete rail network; does anyone know if it extends down into Central America? Do the Central American nations have linked rail systems? <br />I do know, however, that one cannot travel overland from Central America to South America due to a rugged area of mountainous jungle right on the Panama-Colombia border known as the Darien Gap (which also interrupts the Pan-American Highway). But from there, how complete is South America's rail system? Could you theoretically ride a train nonstop all the way to Patagonia?
