photographs from my collection -- Algunos fotos de mi colección
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.
