We live northeast of Houston in Kingwood, Texas. For the past 8-9 months, I have noticed an increasing number of Mexican railroad engines and cars passing down the tracks along I-59 and south of C.R. 105. I do not ever recall seeing these pass through east Texas before. They are all marked “Ferrocarril Mexicano”.....
Ferrocarril Mexicano is the largest railroad company in Mexico and owns Texas Pacifico Transportation (TXPF), which has some 350+ miles of track basically in west Texas. They also own some other short line tracks and those engines maybe associated with them. I don’t know that,it’s just a guess.
I have not seen them yet. I will keep my eye out on 494.
