After having finished the Christmas holidays, the Migrants who were near the southern part of the city gathered at the Tabalaopa stationbeing around 120 people, who wait for confirm the departure of any of the trains from the city of Chihuahua to the border.
Due to the holidays in which the Ferromex trains stopped runningthe migrants who had stayed in the Tabalaopa station facilities continued on their way on foot or, through hitchhiking from the capital’s residents, leaving the railway yards practically empty.
However, a tour carried out in that area by El Heraldo de Chihuahua showed that, on the cars of one of the trains parked at the station to the south of the city, the Migrants began to climb on the roofs of the cars waiting for them to resume their march towards the city of Juárez.
After several of these foreigners have spent a little more than three days in the capitalspending the Christmas holidays next to bonfires and with food donated by citizens who visited them during the holidays, now they wait patiently for the train to leave the station.
