The train actually left after 12 minutes on our trip. Many people were, and have been left behind so keep an accurate track of the time. A scenic 15 minute stop Local children of the canyons. Basket weavers and sellers One of the region's most popular items are small weaved baskets. The lady pictured above was making such a basket.
Many locals make their living by selling such baskets.
Ladies board the train at one stop and then travel through the aisles selling their wears until the end of the line and then journey home the next day. A warning The open air section between train carriages provide little room for excited photographers. Further, the space between the edge of the train and the surrounding rock walls in very small. It is therefore important that travellers don't get curious and stick their heads out to peak in front. Unfortunately a traveller a month previously found this out the hard way.
