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.

Every station features their own icon which resembles the place (although here you'd have to speak Aztec to understand it). This helps both analphabets and people not familiar with the names to find their way.

@serac Didn't get a good picture, but the London Transport museum has one of the old Metropolitan line cars (from the days when it was hauled by steam!) with a women's only compartment. So literally a Victorian concert.

The women's only cars on the subway in Tokyo are only technically women's only at rush hour, which makes it awkward when you get on one not at rush hour, but there's "women only" signs everywhere.
