Graettinger Times in Graettinger, Iowa

Tarahumara runners and railway drama in Sierra Madre Tarahumara country

A travelogue from the Mexico train tour notes Tarahumara Indians in the Sierra Madre Occidental, their whipcord bodies and remarkable running, their primitive tools, and a dramatic canyon railway with tunnels and three levels of tracks. The narrator recalls local life, a birding stop, and a lively train ride with photographers up front. The piece ends with a Graettinger Iowa city report.
