| In 1862 an American utopian dreamer first conceived the idea to construct a rail line between Topolobampo Bay in Silaloa and Kansas City, Kansas. The route would be 400 miles shorter than the existing one from San Francisco. However, the rail line was not completed until 1961. The last section of track drops 7000 feet and took over 20 years to build. |
