Rail transport in Costa Rica is under the ownership of Instituto Costarricense de Ferrocarriles (INCOFER). The Estación al Atlántico (Atlantic Station) today serves as the San José hub for the commuter train to Heredia. And although trains no longer leave for the Atlantic coast from this station, the name remains.
The station is located at the east end of the Paseo Las Damas, a few blocks from the centre of San José.

The station circa 190’s
It’s nice to see this station being taken care off. I remember as a kid, back in the late 1950’s, taking the train to Limon when they had the steam locomotives. Nothing quite like it. The steam the sound and the smoke. What a combo!
