===Limón (near APM Terminal) - Saborio===
This ca. 11km section of the Limón - Leesville line is used by about 3 or 4 chartered passenger trains a week when cruise liners call (December - March and June - August). An empty train leaves Limón to pick up cruise passengers at a road crossing near the APM Terminal. These trains are only accessible to cruise passengers, who are brought to and from the train by bus for a one-way trip, exchanging with other cruise passengers at the far end.
