Board ‘the beast’: migrants’ daring train ride through Mexico – in pictures
The Guardian has a feature with photos by Veronica G Cardenas. Cardenas photographed life on the route of la Bestia – the freight train on which Central American men, women and children band together as a caravan to make the brutal 20-day journey through Mexico. They can travel without having to pay, but still they risk kidnappings, rape and injury. Some of them will start anew in Mexico. A few will go further north to seek asylum in the US.
