Route planner
Pick two stations on the Trans-Andean Railway and find out which train route connects them, the approximate travel time and the distance.
This planner travels the historic network of Ecuador’s railway: it shows the route that links two stations (Tren Crucero, Devil’s Nose, Freedom Train…), the approximate running time and whether you need to combine routes. Remember that the national service is suspended: check the schedule to see what runs today.
Frequently asked questions

They are approximate (running times). The actual tourist trip included stops and excursions. For schedules, see the schedule page.
Only if the route is running. Currently only the Devil’s Nose is confirmed. The rest is historical information.
