Great read! The Tren Maya is illiciting plenty of opposing opinions and discussions.
The Los Angeles Times does not have the same New York Times ability to "gift" an article to others for 30 days. I think, though, some of the articles are available if you watch an advertisement or something like that. If you can't read the article, I will copy 'n' paste it and then go put on my Groucho disguise.

Okay, against my better judgment, I will bite. Would you please explain where in this thread is the connection to Agent Orange? My apologies. I can't find it.

My apologies. My curiosity got the better of me.
On another note, does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on the Tren Maya? My initial thought was that it would never generate anywhere near the income needed to run and maintain the system, let alone pay for the cost of development. I still feel that same way. Would love to hear your thoughts and comments. Note: I am in no way hoping for the project to fail.

I went out to Merida, Cancun and Valladolid hoping to experience the Tren Maya. When I found out the stations were on the outskirts of town, rather than near the Centro, and that you needed a taxi to get to the stations, I just took the bus from town to town. File under Buzzkill.

As John Huston once famously said, "Either you bring the water to LA or you bring LA to the water." Maybe the planners expect that the towns will organically grow towards the stations. Or maybe they're just clueless.

I'm not old enough to have experienced the days when Mexican rail travel was the cheapest form of transportation ....but I wish I had.
That said, I wonder if the Tren Maya is an attempt to return to those days, to benefit locals, or just an upscale attraction for foreign tourists.
