Old Mexico
Title:  Old Mexico
Description:  At one time, these Nacionales de Mexico cars were all over. In the years following the privitization of Mexicos railroads, they are becoming more and more unusual, as is the case for most fallen flag equipment. This one, now lettered for TFM, and part of the KCS fleet, was in a southbound grain train at CP Flint Creek.
