  • what happened to this railroad?

  • @rockguitarist946 The Ferrocarril Del Pacifico was est in 1951 after Mexico purchased the line Nogales to Guadalajara from Southern Pacific FCP was best know for big Alco engines such asFPA 2 RSD12 C628 they also purchased U30c and U23B from GE in the late 70's NdeM started to take control of all of the Railroads in Mexico to make one system. FCP was absorbed in the 80s thus the FNM was created, in the 90s it slit in 3 TFM FSRR and Ferromex which was given FCPs line

  • Very strange to see a large freight loco pulling carrages like that.

  • i have this video and let me tell you,ths video is awesome.Quick note:former FCPdidnt like EMD's they trade 4 sd40's in the 13000(VMV paducah rebuilds) series for 4 brand new GE C30-7 from NdeM.pacifico up until the end was all ALCO-MLW-GE long live ferrocarril del pacifico

  • Excellent video. But upload also the Central and Northern Mexico rails! Don´t forget the Copper Canyon video!. Excelente video, uno de los mejores documentales de trenes de México. 5***** y favoritos.

  • 1:52, DAMN! Wonder how much they'd want for it.

  • @ColonelSamatoshi Preserved in a museum in operable condition.

  • didn`t cn buy bc rail ?

  • yea they did but i dont kno why there in mexico maybe Cn sold some of there older locos to Pacifico

  • WTH Is Wrong With Those Trains I Never Seen EMD;s And GE;s And Sd40s Smoking So Bad

  • Alot of the locomotives in the video are ALCO's, which tend to throw up alot of smoke no matter what.

  • Gee maybe its because their ALCOS

  • HA HA HAHAH!

  • awesome pentrex! u give me back some memories. i grew up looking those NdeM locomotives as a child

  • y como dato adicional va pasando por querobabi sonora la tierra de los ladrillos

  • train orders, thats very rare now in the usa as technoligy took that place, elgin joliet and eastern still does this and a few others, i have only had that done on my route a couple times in the past 15 years

  • if im not mistaken the mexwrecks locomotives WSOR has are from this Railroad the Pacifico i believe

  • The Mexi-Wrex are ex-FNM (Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México) and have a paint scheme similar to that seen at about 0:28-0:45.

  • Awesome video!

  • This video looks great!

  • Great Video!!! TONS AND TONS of SMOKIN' ALCOS, what a beutiful sight!! Great job Pentrex!!

  • rolling junk yards. these locomotives should have been keep here and restored.

  • wow cool video lots of intersting and awesome older power

  • smokers!

  • oh wow number 17 is BEAUTIFUL

  • Boy if only they could see the roads down in Mexico now. Lots of those tracks are now owned by KCS De M or Ferromex.

    Once Mexico opened its flood gates to us American railroads what did we do? We put our stuff on their lines and made their railroads into important international importing and exporting gateways.

  • @HyperActive7 A lot changed, basically a stady modernization, it used to be a contrast between the new and old working side by side, Mexico had SD40-2's a 4-8-4's working side by side for a few months, what was new in 1990 is now the old, the alcos are gone and few are preserved. One thing is that KCSM and FXE do NOT own the railroad, but are concessioned to be the operators, the Mexican Goverment owns the track and ROW.

  • @SBC1344 I'm not at all surprised you said the government controls the rails. I should know they are different from us where our rails are privately owned by the company itself.

    Now as for the other part of this,

    That's a real shame but it surprises me Mexico has more money then they are letting on. KCS DE M isn't the biggest carrier there either, Ferromex is the only big one left there if I remember right. TFM really wasn't that big of a road like many believe it was.

  • @SBC1344 If you look at TFM it only went as far as Mexico City whereas Ferromex goes practically all over the country. Now South of Mexico City is unique because once you get south you run into all those other countries. Anyway, I don't really know how many true Mexican lines are left besides Ferromex so thanks for the info :)

  • :13 wat is he giving him

  • trainorders.

  • No, They are using the primitive Token System. Some other railroads practise this method of tracking a locomotive. KTMB Railroad also uses this system to.
