San Rafael is a train station located in San Rafael, Chihuahua, Mexico.[1]

History

In 1940, the federal government of Mexico acquired the rights to the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway, and on May 27, 1952, it took possession of the line operated by the Mexico North Western Railway. In 1955, the federal government merged the two lines to form the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico. When this was completed in 1961, they connected Ciudad Juárez, Ojinaga and the city of Chihuahua with Topolobampo on the Pacific coast by rail.[2]
