Description
People board the train that leaves the platform at 6:30 pm from the Cuidad Juarez train station. A vast number of tall pillars makes the foundation of the station's platform. The 80's were considered the "lost decade" because of Mexico's debt crisis. This was due to the falling oil prices that left Mexico without foreign currency to pay off its $80 billion debt. This in effect, increased high levels of unemployement, especially in rural areas. Las personas suben al tren que sale de la plataforma a las 6:30 pm desde la estación de trenes de Ciudad Juárez. Un gran número de pilares altos forma la base de la plataforma de la estación. Los años 1980 fueron considerados como la "década perdida" debido a la crisis de la deuda de México. Esto se debió a la caída de los precios del petróleo que dejó a México sin moneda extranjera para pagar su deuda de $80 mil millones. Esto, en efecto, aumentó los altos niveles de desempleo, especialmente en las zonas rurales.
