The Beast  ( La Bestia )

You might wonder - who or what is the Beast?
The Beast in Spanish means - La Bestia. The
Beast is a cargo train that travels from Ciapas
Mex. - to Sonora Mex. 

Throughout the years alot of people have gotten 
on that train. They all come from Central America. 
They want to come to the U.S. to look for the 
American Dream.

The people call it - La Bestia, the train of Death and
the train of Hell. A lot of people have lost their lives
through out the years. They fall asleep and fall down
or fall trying to get on the train.

In the month of August of 2013, Ia Bestia derailed and 
a lot of boxcars went down. a lot of people lost their lives
fifteen were from Honduras. Others were seriously injured
and had to go to hospitals. Some had horrible deaths and
still others survived.

The people know about these dangers, but they still keep 
trying to come here. Now you know about The Beast, the 
train of Death and the train of Hell. It is easy for us to say 
why do they take those chances.

We already have our lives established here. If we go to other 
Countries - it would be for pleasure. Those people are very poor 
in their Countries and their Government don't help. I think that we
all have the right to pursue a better life. If we had been born there 
we would maybe do the same thing.....
