Railroad station in Chihuahua, Mexico

Size: 1024×709

Men with briefcases wearing business attire stand engaged in conversation on a train platform. A family with small children is gathered farther down the platform. Two passenger train cars sit at the station.

Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico and shares a border with the United States. The largest city in the state is Ciudad Juarez, which is known for it’s manufacturing industry. The state is named for the Chihuahua desert, though much of the state is actually covered in leafy forests.
