Hello
I have read some conflicting stories of when the Devil Nose train/bus departs. Could someone please confirm which days it runs?
Thanks!
Chris
The train isn't running till October.. They said it would be open in July, then August, now it's October.
Thanks for your reply. We will be there in mid-October. Is there a website to check when its up and running?
Edited: 10 years agoThis is the website from EFE, the Rail way co. of Ecuador. Hopefully, apart from the political propaganda of the government you can get some info about the openning of the Devil's Nose:
Perhaps this information helps, it could be correct, pity because I will be there in October.i received this from the rail company given on last reply

Riobamba-Palmira is the current route but definetely it has nothing to do with what was the real Train. The real train is gone, God knows when will it return. What would be working from the end of this year at the Devil's Nose is an "AUTOFERRO", this is a sort of bus-train who rides on top of the rail way.
Compared to what the real train was, this is nothing.
