Texas Railroad Sesquicentennial - Sesquicentennial Saturday

NAFTA Rail, illustrated. An eastbound Texas Mexican train becomes a KCS train as it changes
crews upon arrival in Beaumont, Texas on September 6, 2003. The train, which originated in
Mexico and entered the U.S. through the Laredo gateway, has been operating
on trackage rights over Union Pacific -- with Texas Mexican crews -- since it left
Tex-Mex rails in Robstown. Now with a KCS crew on board, the train enters KCS trackage as
it resumes its
eastward trip toward Jackson, MS.
