Below a  list of locomotives which may be of interest to some of you. We all know that electrification in Mexico has not gone very far, and almost as soon as the time of electric trains had started it was already at its end, thanks to privatisation. Peter Lais has discovered in Mexlist  this list of electric locomotives - most of them are thus at the "gran amigo del norte". 

Three more E60C's come to USA

I have received a report that three ex-NdeM that had been stored at San Luis  Potosí are now north of the border in the USA. I am not sure of their current location, but they are in-transit toward a final destination, which is also uncertain. They are numbers EA010, EA020 and EA021.

Just as an update, the line from Oaxaca to Tehuacan has been closed for all the trains; the last freight train ran some weeks ago, and it seems that there wont be any more trains; there is nothing left in Oaxaca but a caboose (property of the city government) and a GP 38 still property of FNM.

Both the Expreso de la Independencia and the Expreso Maya have web sites:

http://www.expresoindependencia.com (Spanish and English)
http://www.expresomaya.com (Spanish, German, and English)

Yet another famous train, El Chepe, or Tren del Cobre, of the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacifico, from Chihahua to 
Los Mochis, has also its own web site:

http://www.chepe.com.mx (Spanish only).

The Museo Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Mexicanos in Puebla has a new website:

The museum can be found under: http://www.cnca.gob.mx/museos.htm

where you have to scroll down until you reach (Museus de) "Antropología", and then further down until you reach "Puebla" and find the real link (which has no internet address of its own). 

The new page is more comprehensive and worth a visit!

The web site: http://conaculta.gob.mx/museo/home.html is no longer valid.
