- Alco/MLW power on the Pacific Region (Former S-BC and FCP railroads) of FNM (Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico) taped in 1993. Models are M630 and M630W (ex-BCR), M636, API620, RS-11, RSD-12 along with a variety of older and Super-7 GE power. Also included is a brief runby with PA 17 at Empalme and the S-BC FT being pulled from the shop at Benjamin Hill. Passenger trains are also featured including the combining of the SBC train with the Nogales FCP service at Benjamin HIll. All of this is gone now.
Those M630W's are so cool. I only wish more railroads had owned them so we could've seen them in different paint schemes.
Thanks for posting this!! This is the best FNM footage I have seen other than the Pentrex videos, the Mexican railroads even into the FNM era had much of the character the US roads had lost years before. Its sad that except for the few preserved in Merida and Puebla, every single ALCO in Mexico was scrapped. And hardly a passenger train left. I would have loved to visit Mexico back then, I dont think I will ever get tired of seeing videos from the FNM era.

To whoever did the video, a Big Thankyou! Music to my ears!
Good lord, what an incredible treasure trove! Who'd have guessed BCR MLWs ended up in Mexico? It's a shame that's all gone, but at least there's a PA under restoration now in the States.
Trains of Chicagoland and Beyond...
Make that two.
7:37 an operational FT? Wow!
You can still see it accommodating wagons and locomotives in a museum in the state of Puebla, they keep it active thanks to changes in its engine and repowering

that's right, it's an emd ft but in this case the one in the video was remoted and its current engine was from a gp28
Thanks so much for sharing.
Truly phenomenal footage. The variety of paint schemes, models of locomotive, and four cycle sounds in this video are priceless. Those Airchime K5H and K5L horns on the ex Canadian Centuries sound great. Thanks for capturing and posting this fine piece of railroad history.
Cómo no iban a quebrar lo es con esos motores con humos raros y sonidos de Motor a punto de tronar en cambio hoy los traen bien afinaditos
Lo que es de todos es de nadie
Ex FCP is now Ferromex
Awesome video
Gracias por este video, me hizo recordar cuando yo viajaba en tren, recuerdo qué había varias opciones para viajar, era el de segunda, el de primera, luego está el Camerin, que consistía en un camarote pequeño y de noche llegaba el personal y hacia la cama, luego estaba camarote y por último el pulman, que era casi todo el vagón, yo viaje de Guadalajara a México y de ahí transbodas a Veracruz y viceversa, lo más hermoso eran sus paisajes y las estaciones dónde se paraba y se subían las gentes del lugar a venderte sus productos, también viaje al sur, bellos recuerdos
Wow, that was a cool video for sure. I used to live in West Vancouver on the old BC Rail mainline. Sure is strange to see those units in Mexico, it's like they left for a sunny vacation and never came back.
If you look up the ferrocarril istmo de tehuantepec you'll see at least up until a few years ago there were some BC Rail units in deep southern Mexico.
Ding ding! I'm a tram and I approve this video!
Wow an EMD FT diesel It's very rare to find FT locomotives with the exception of the EMD demonstrator A and B unit
No pues era un buen buen trasporte tanto el de gñcarga como el pasajeros de de puebla saludos salvador garcia
Thanks for the time capsule. Great to see this 2nd generation power moving freight and passenger. Greetings from Rochester NY USA.
Cuando los Ferrocarriles Nacionales De Mexico eran del pueblo mexicano....hoy....privatizado de nueva cuenta.
Pues la verdad fue para bien, mucha mejor infraestructura
Nunca fueron del pueblo, fueron de los funcionarios del PRI y de sus lideres sindicales.
ES UN GRAN VIDEO !! AMAZING. VIDEO . TODO ME HA GUSTADO . LASTIMA NO HAYA YA ESTOS TRENES DE PASAJEROS EN MEXICO QUISIERA VER ESTOS TRENES DE PASAJEROS DE NVO.. I WANT TO SEE THESE PASSENGER TRAINS BACK IN MEXICO !! GOOD JOB ..THE SOUND IS AMAZING !! GREETINGS FROM MONTERREY, N.L. . SALUDOS A TODOS LOS FERRROMODELISTAS DE MEXICO . ESTE VIDEO ES BASICO PARA RECORDAR LO QUE SE NOS FUE.
@fmnut: I'm looking forward to it! This NdeM/FNM era stuff is solid gold.
Yeah !! Santana - Incident at Neshabur off Abraxas 1970 ..... perfect !!!
Perdón, este corrector eran las pitufas
la 2203 viendola en acción :O ya ahora esta en un museo
esas locomotoras alco eran iguales que la serie 600 mlw las compraron en canada asi venian con esa pintura y le rotularon fnm
It's sad that Ferrocarriles Nacionales De Mexico was dissolved, it was the last remanent we had of old operational practices from the United States
Aaahhh ke hermosos recuerdos de los trenes de antes de Mexico...soy de Colima y vivi frente a la estacion del tren en Colima por 12 anos y la verdad ke los sigo extranando y mas al tren de pasajeros...de Guadalajara a Manzanillo
Enrique Covarrubias yo tambien vivi cerquita de la estacion del tren...por la calle colon
Most Super7's survive on ferromex and its parent company ferrosur,but the ones kept by TFM,now KCSM,were sold to brazil,it is uncertain if any of the former BC Rail units survived since all the alco-mlw power was off the rosters by 1998,passenger service was gone by 1997.railroading in mexico before the privatization,was like living in the past..semaphores,pick up orders,track gangs,telegraph,jointed rail,caboose on every freight,I sure miss the smoke of the alcos,thanks for sharing this footage
14:06 cuando el trailer le gana las carreras al tren.
great video, love the audio of those lco's working hard, especially the ex BCRail units
Y esas azules les llamaban "las pinturas"
Perdón las pitufas
Now I know ALCos are known for belching exhaust but i'm 90% sure that first one had a problem.
WOW! Good looking FT. Can't believe it.
Excelente video 👌
Muy buen Video, para ver y recordar
@fmnut Oh, well that's good to hear. Are the Super 7s still running, then?
So cool to see those former BC Rail units!
Hello, you have videos of Mexican working steam locomotives?? This video its beautiful!!
21:50
, never thought that someone would come up with souch a good video , focusing on the sbc and fcp and specially alcos , loved the ex-sbc gp18 almost at the end. saludos de puerto penasco!
Superb - all the way from 00:00 to 36:16. Thanks for sharing, especially for the ex D&H PA with it's 12-251(F?) motor. It sounds just like a Greek MLW MX627. Happy days!
Un viaje por el tiempo recuerdos inolvidables mientras estsmos vivos los que laboramos e losFFCC NDE M labore ahi en la div San Luis 42 años
Que buenas salieron las súper 7
The FCP and SBC railroads were pretty much an operation of their own even after the unification into the FNM sistem..pacifico was still using numbers to identify their trains,like they did when it was part of southern pacific(up until the end)and it was an all ALCO-GE road.SBC was an independent operation and it was mostly a EMD road until the MLW's arrived..now being ferromex territory,the alcos and the empalme shops are all gone,501 survived until 2000 serving ferromex,then it was cut up,
Great content btw from one of my favorite and one of the last great decades of variety railroad footage of all kinds; the 1990s. Nice to see The Sierra Madre Express shows up in a cameo appearance. Too bad PA-1 #17 got snatched up by the government, and placed in a railroad museum on display (despite it's operational) when it could be back in the US.
I doubt they want any of this clunky crap that overpollutes
It was good to see the PA. I work on the D&H, so the old heads talk about them.
These videos was filmed in the 90s century
1993
Thank you!
Excellent video!
What's that slammin' song in the beginning?
Santana. "Incident at Nishabur" from the Abraxas album.
@@fmnut Late reply but thank you so much!
Esa locomotora roja está bonita . cómo que es de colección.
Muy bien!!!
que bonito video me gusta mucho me da una nostalgia ver lo que se perdio por la corrupcion
Como es que van dos cabuses moviendose solos en el minuto 9:36 ?
La "caída de gravedad" coloca los caboos en el extremo opuesto de la locomotora sin que la locomotora corra a su alrededor
I wonder if there are any still kicking down there. I know old GEs are still used.
that was a great video, how about that high tec spray booth at12.00.
Desde mi punto de vista era mejor N de M que ferrosur o Ferromex
en sus últimos años ya no eran la octava maravilla
NIce rare footage there is a lot of rare rolling stock i see Do you have any pictures of 89' or 85' flatcars or even trailers you could share??
Yo quiero que vuelvan otra vez los trenes en toda la república mexicana pero a la voz de lla .
Very good video and nice showcase of engines now gone, to bad though, would have loved to see a MLW M630-W in real life, ah wel luckily his smaller brother survived (the MLW M420)
7:14 where is this?
S-BC shops, Benjamin Hill.
Do they still have passenger service on this line? back in the 1970's i took the train from Mexicali to Matzilan, 24hrs, with sleeping compartment.
No. All long distance passenger service in Mexico went away with privatization. Except for tourist trains on the Chepe.
@@fmnut Thanks for the info, :(
9:49 a esa locomotora se le fueron los cabuses
F*ucking sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
Why do you only record parts of the consist sometimes and not all of it or at least most of it for example some of the passenger trains had very little clip lengths.
Negevs are for pros Short clips enhance viewer interest. Watch any professional (non railfan) film and you will seldom find a clip longer than 15 seconds. Unless there's a good reason I seldom shoot the whole train.
I see your point, thanks for the reply!
Se supone que están dados en consecion
Awesome!!!!!! Too bad that this can be considered vintage footage.
um país sem ferrovia e uma sombra sempre .no caso do Brasil é uma vergonha
Mexicali :D
Currently the best locomotives M de N FNM for now was to late 90s became as Ferromex (FXE), Ferrosur (FSRR) and Kansas City Southern de Mexico (KCSM) by TFM.
Is N de M not M de N
Lol Love the Santana !!!! : D
A Big 6 Axle MLW for a local !!!! And Big 6 Axle MLW & GE's on short Passenger Trains !!
Lol , Not as Santa Fe or NYC intended !! Love it : D
Le quitaron al pueblo el servicio de pasajeros y carga baratos
huuuuuy la verdad que recuerdos tengo desde que era niño.
@ferrofan1 Nice... Do you think you could email me them. also are you referring to Gabydecals????
Why are the locomotives different colors I only remember the blue ones
They are in various paint schemes of previous railroads. The red white blue and two tone green locos came from British Columbia, Canada. The red and orange unit was painted to resemble a Southern Pacific RR loco in the US.
+fmnut thanks for the great info.
What is it about American Locomotive Company Diesels that make them look like a steam engine
Mitchell DeVillers Turbo lag. Early GE's also exhibit this phenomenon.
fmnut I thought it was that the Alco and Motreal Locomotive Works diesels had this phenomenon due to un-even exaust.
Mitchell DeVillers nope, it's turbo lag.
fmnut Thanks for clarifying for me
Those BCR units are pretty far from home
Porque máquinas pintadas d otro color con esquema d fnm??
algunas locomotoras de fnm llegaron de segunda mano
Smoking lamp is lit,lol
@ferrofan1 ok I will send you a message
@fmnut I would appreciate it I have been searching for Piggyback train Photos for some time now. I'm trying to model them in HO thank you very much
