Migrant people, mostly from Venezuela, remain stranded after the goods train they were travelling on to Ciudad Juarez stopped in the desert in the municipality of Ahumada, Chihuahua state, Mexico on September 29, 2023. AFPPIX: Migrants were stranded in northern Mexico's harsh desert after the freight train they were riding on halted for 24 hours, though they were trundling toward the border again on Saturday.

“All night, the cold didn’t let up, and during the day, from the sun,“ Venezuelan Jose Martin told AFP. “Not bus or car, nothing, nobody will take us, so we hopped on a train, because supposedly they don’t stop,“ said Maria Fernanda Molina, also from Venezuela.In Mexico, where most railroads are more than 100 years old, freight trains often move slowly or stop altogether -- sometimes for the very purpose of discouraging migrants.

In Ahumada, civil protection authorities and local residents brought food and water to the stranded passengers before the train began chugging along again Saturday, bound for the border town of Ciudad Juarez.
