Английская Википедия:Hornos Railroad
Hornos Railroad (Ferrocarril de Hornos) was a Шаблон:RailGauge narrow gauge railway owned by Hacienda de Hornos in Mexico. Hacienda de Hornos was a large grain and cattle ranch in southwestern Coahuila near Torreón.
The line extended Шаблон:Convert from an interchange with the Mexican International Railway at Hornos through Hacienda de Hornos to Alamito with a Шаблон:Convert branch to interchange with the Ferrocarril Coahuila y Pacifico at Viesca.
Construction began at Hornos in 1902, and the line began common-carrier freight and passenger service in 1904 with two daily trains in each direction between Hornos and Viesca. Twenty-ton locomotive #4 was the only Шаблон:RailGauge narrow gauge 2-8-2 ever built for North American service.[1]
The railroad was damaged by the Mexican Revolution in 1914; and the last public timetable was published in 1930 for a single daily mixed train with no service to Alamito.
The line disappeared from government records after 1945.
