El tren pasa primero es una novela de la escritora mexicana Elena Poniatowska, publicada en 2007. La historia sigue la vida de Trinidad Pineda Chiñas, un hombre de Oaxaca que descubre su vocación y ansias de conocimiento al ver pasar un tren. A partir de ese momento, Trinidad se convierte en un líder sindical ferroviario, luchando por los derechos de sus compañeros y enfrentándose al régimen. La novela explora temas como la lucha de clases, la injusticia social y la búsqueda de la identidad, todo ello enmarcado en el contexto del México del siglo XX.
Hélène Elizabeth Louise Amélie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor, known professionally as Elena Poniatowska, is a French-born Mexican journalist and author, specializing in works on social and political issues focused on those considered disenfranchised, especially women and the poor. She was born in Paris to upper-class parents. Her mother's family fled Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. She left France for Mexico when she was ten to escape World War II. When she was 18, she began writing for the newspaper Excélsior, doing interviews and society columns. Despite the lack of opportunity for women from the 1950s to the 1970s, she wrote about social and political issues in newspapers and both fiction and nonfiction books. Her best-known work is La noche de Tlatelolco: Testimonios de historia oral, about the repression of the 1968 student protests in Mexico City. Due to her left-wing views, she has been nicknamed "the Red Princess". She is considered "Mexico's grande dame of letters" and is still an active writer.
