The Plaza de las Tres Centurias or Generations needs to be on your list of things to do when visiting Aguascalientes. The history of the railroad in Aguascalientes is integral to the history of Aguascalientes itself. Aguascalientes, to this day, is still very industrial and not a tourist destination. The railroad history is on full display from the first housing which was used for customs. The customs house is long and houses some very cool displays and real life artifacts.
Outside of the customs building is the actual train station beautifully preserved. Seeing the desk, the timetable, and the ticket counter from the mid-1800s was very cool.
Further outside is a locomotive and gardens.
Unfortunately the train cars were not open, maybe they are only open to social media creators like En Zapatos de Monica.
It would have been nice to go inside, but alas, we don't have a YouTube channel with millions of subscribers. I do have Elite Yelp status, but they didn't know what that was, so it wasn't the flex I thought it was. lol
Make sure to check out the Plaza, the customs house, the train station, and learn about the Mexican railroad and how it grew Aguascalientes to be the industrial city it is today. read more
