Luigi Salas [ES] had never traveled on a train in Ecuador. However, after reading the blog El Tren mas Dificil del Mundo [ES] (The Most Difficult Train in the World) he feels that maybe he should. The aforementioned blog is written by Héctor Villagrán Cepeda, who is president of the Ecuadoran Railways Company. The blog updates readers on the progress of a route between various cities in the country. Salas applauds the transparency and effort of a public official to keep the public well informed.
