company, 1913). Chapter 7, “A railroad journey in southern Mexico”,

The Texas Mexican Railroad was built as a USA extension of the Mexican railroad network,
and affiliated for many years with Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México until its
recent assimilation into the Kansas
City Southern system.
This “Mexican Connection” along with the sharing of my initials (TM)
gives it special significance to me.
La línea Texas Mexican Railroad se construyó como una prolongación estadounidense de la empresa
mexicana National Railroad Company of Mexico. Durante muchos años estuvo afiliada a los
Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México, hasta su fusion en el sistema Kansas City
Southern. Esta “conexión mexicana”
además al compartir mis initiales (TM) me brinda significación especial.
