Tequila choo-choo

Vacationers in Guadalajara now have a choice of two trains that will take them to where tequila is made. New is the José Cuervo Express, which makes an evening run starting on Fridays at 5:30 and returning shortly after midnight. On Saturdays and Sundays, the train leaves at 11, bound for the José Cuervo Center in the town of Tequila. Another choice is the Tequila Express, which has been operating for several years now. It goes to the Herradura distillery. Fare includes drinks, food and entertainment that are featured on both runs. With the exception of the Chihuahua-Pacific train running by the Copper Canyon, Mexico has no passenger train service.
