First coach is for checked luggage, the second one is this seater car. It was empty and locked but with the lights on the entire way I think. Then the sleeper cars.

Lounge cars with WiFi on each side of the dining car, followed by, well, the other half of the train. At some stations we would stop twice, first for the sleeper, then for the seated cars.

My sense of humour: bus number 777 takes us to the casino. Walking away from the bus stop (or out of the casino after losing all your money...?) seems to be unthinkable.

Which list of world wonders are you refering to? The one from the NewOpenWorld Foundation lists Chichén Itzá, but not Teotihuacán. However, it is a very impressive site indeed.
