The Regiomontano (from the Spanish demonym for a person from Monterrey) was a passenger train that provided service between Mexico City and Monterrey, formerly operated by Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México.[1]

It was considered a luxury train, due to the small niche of users, mainly from the middle or upper class. Therefore, it did not provide a mass transport service. Its journey was fifteen hours, and its intermediate stops were mainly San Luis Potosí and Saltillo.[citation needed]

The train had 4 stations on its route: Mexico City's Buenavista station, San Luis Potosí, Saltillo, and Monterrey.[2]
